andrew driverAndy Driver is not having much luck with injuries this season. He will be out of action again for a couple of weeks due to a thigh strain. The 22-year-old winger just came from the tendonitis which has dogged him for virtually the whole season. He managed just 33 minutes of Saturday's 1-0 win over Kilmarnock but pulled up shortly after Suso Santana's winning goal to be eplaced by David Templeton. The former England Under-21 international will now miss Sunday's trip to Ibrox and the home match against Motherwell the following weekend.

Jim Jeffries admitted it was difficult to put a date on when Driver will be back. JJ said: "I think we are looking at around two weeks at the moment but whatever the timescale it's another disappointment for the lad whose had a few injuries this season." However, JJ hopes to be able to bring captain Michael Stewart back into this weekend's squad following a calf injury, while defender Ismael Bouzid is also nearing a return after missing two months of action with a hamstring problem. However, striker Gary Glen is doubtful with a similar injury, while defender Jose Goncalves remains sidelined with a knee problem.
