However, midfielder Gavin Rae could miss out once again as he continues to be blighted by a knee injury.
The Scotland international is playing through the pain barrier due to a chipped bone below his knee and is poised to make a decision on whether to undergo surgery.

Midfielder Sammy Clingan limped off in Northern Ireland's goalless draw with Scotland in midweek after picking up an ankle injury and is a major doubt.
