Remember Black, Duncan, Morais and Barrowman are out:

----------------------------------Esson-------------------------------------

------------------Mihadjuks--------------------Munro------------------------

---Tokely--------------------------------------------------Djebi-Zadi--------

--------------------Kerr------------------------Vigurs-----------------------

----------------------------------Imrie--------------------------------------

-------------Rooney------------Odhiambo------------Foran------------------

Subs - Fraser, Duff, Hastings, Byrne, Proctor, McBain, Wood

Esson

Tokely Mihadjuks Munro Djebi-Zadi

Vigurs Kerr McBain Imrie

Rooney Odhiambo

That's what I would like to see, hopefully with Duncan out Vigurs will get to show his worth.

Esson

Tokely Mihadjuks Munro Djebi-Zadi

Proctor Kerr Vigurs Foran

Imrie Odhiambo

Keep the same team that's been doing the business, with McBain in for Duncan and Vigurs in for Black.

The same team would be fine.

Duncan out and Vigurs in!

Tokely Munro Mihadjuks Djebi-Zadi

Proctor

McBain Kerr Imrie

Eric

Foran

Proctor lying deep. Foran and Imrie used where they're most effective. Kerr NOT the marking midfielder as he's more of a touch player. Eric doing all the running the way that Imrie has been but Foran right up centre to score the goals. Rooney and Vigurs key bench players.

Tokely Mihadjuks Munro Lionel

Believe it or not I wholly agree - but I suspect that Butcher may favour Kerr in front of pickin Vigurs or even Royster.

Butcher has made it crystal clear that he will stick to the players when they are not losing - a bit predictable perhaps - but we have moaned about the lack of continuity under brewster who changed it every game. I suspect that Butcher is stcicking to this ethos even if he has doubts - fair do's - I think / hope he knows what he is doing - and judging by the benches he has players who could come on if the shittt does hit the fan.

With that line-up i am confident of all 3 points against the hibees.

BBC highlights show Russell definitely took the ball, not the player. Interesting decision for the club whether they risk a ?1,000 appeal.

As an aside, Essen made an absolute dogs dinner for the Dundee equaliser. He has nevertheless, saved some good goals so perhaps we cannot be too unkind.

Looked to me that the ref got it right.

I thought that first time I saw the highlights too. Having watched it a few times now I think the ball took a bobble as Russell made the tackle, making it look like he got the ball first. Can't see an appeal being made by the club.

ball takes a higher bobble than it did before the tackle and is also slightly more infront of swanson...hard to judge...looks to me like he did get a touch with the studs...but not 100% easy to see why it was givin

Mcbain has to play even under Brewster he ran himself into the ground in every match he played in

Surely Morais will play?

Surely Morais will play?

is he fit????

I'm sure I read somewhere the other day, possibly the P&J, that his manager said he was looking sharp?

He does look very sharp....

But he's not fit like.... as they say in Aberdeen.
