Ian Black could be out of the squad for the game against the Buddies. The midfielder has broken bones in his hand and a late decision will be made over whether to risk him. Andrew Driver (thigh), David Obua (groin) and Lee Wallace (knee) remain on the sidelines. Calum Elliot is happy to be harangued in stereo as he believes the promptings of Hearts manager Jim Jefferies and strike partner Kevin Kyle are making him a better player. Elliot has scored four goals this season after forming a promising partnership with Kyle, who recently called for his team-mates to find their voice on the pitch to help each other through difficult games and cut out any problems instantly. |
