How many changes can we make? I've gone for a relatively conservative four.

Esson

Piermayr Williams Gillet G.Shinnie

Jones Foran

Hayes Winnall Gnakpa

McKay

Subs: Tuffey, Tokely, Proctor, Tansey, Ross, Sutherland, Tade

I would love to dump more members of the back four, but I'm horrified by the idea of Tokely or Proctor up against Russell. Piermayr has always looked solid when he's been in the side. Jones absolutely has to start this game, presumably at Tansey's expense. Winnall deserves a chance - he can't be any worse than the rest of them. Take your pick out of Gnakpa, Ross and Tade to play wide.

But will a draw and a point be sufficient to continue the push for a Top Six place ?

I would say with the amount of games still to be played then yes. Although a win tonight and we go into the game against Killy knowing that 3 points on Saturday will put us above St Mirren, above Killy and below the Dons on goal difference.

No!! In fact I can't honestly see us make up ten points to DU with only eighteen available.

I find it's generally best to assume that IHE is being sarcastic unless there is good evidence to the contrary!

Jonny Hayes is out tonight, I think - or at least he's suggesting so on twitter. I think he's tweaked a hamstring?
