PAUL BERNARD has suffered another set back this week. Just when the midfielder had returned to training, he was struck down by the flu. Although Billy Stark refuses to rule him out;
"Ryan Stevenson and Paul Bernard have had the flu so we’ll wait and see what they are like tomorrow."
The remaining midfielders who had picked up injuries; Donnelly, McLaughlin, and Mark Robertson returned to training on Tuesday, and should be available for selection tomorrow. Mark Reilly trained on Thursday for the first time, but Billy Stark said;
"I wouldn’t worry about that. Mark knows what his body requires in training and he knows what his role in the team is."
Chris Hay did not play in the reserve draw on Wednesday, but this was merely a precautionary measure with the game being played on astro.
Congratulations to Mark Baxter who has been called up to the Scotland U-19 squad. As a result he will be unavailable for the matches against St.Mirren and Dunfermline.
