The provisional squad has been revealed ahead of tomorrow’s Scottish Premiership game, away to St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park.
As reported by the Daily Record, it looks like we could be set to see Shane Duffy returning to the side once again, with tomorrow’s fixture coming just too early for Stephen Welsh in his recovery from the ankle injury picked up on Wednesday night.

As well as coming too early for Welsh, who is in the provisional squad but isn’t expected to make it. It still looks like James Forrest will need to wait for his film return to the side to come.
Ironically, St Johnstone is a side who the 29-year winger loves a goal against but the Saints defence won’t have to worry about that prospect tomorrow.
With Neil Lennon’s side being on a good run of form, you wouldn’t expect too many changes to be made to the starting 11 apart from Duffy and maybe if Lennon chooses to rest someone like Scott Brown.
