3 suspensions (Mark Durnan,Matty Smith and Scott McDonald) and Patrick N'Koyi still injured.

But the good news is James Keatings is back training and even has an outside chance for Saturday.

I reckon it'll just be the same side as Sunday but switching Tam Scobbie in Durnan's place and Jamie Robson brought back in at LB.

Would take ANY win just to get us off the mark and hit the ground running this season.

On the train up on Saturday, first trip to ICT so looking forward to a good swally and hopefully 3pts to start our season.

I'd agree Scobbie inside and Robbo on the left. Would imagine the rest would be as you were from the Mong's game. If Keats can get on the bench it would at least give us an option later on if we're struggling and he is able to take a game for 20mins or so.

Personally, I'd rather have keatings out now and fit for the rest of the season than rush him back too quickly and have a succession of wee injuries later.

SlatefordArab · 02/8/2017 1:37 pm

Can't see Keatings being involved this weekend.

Beardy23 · 02/8/2017 2:07 pm

Save him to slay the dees!

Mass Debates · 02/8/2017 2:37 pm

Totally agree he needs to be 100% over the injury, no point in him doing any more damage.

Can't have been proper ligament damage,no way.

Maybe just bruised the ligaments.

Make sure we get it right with Keatings, do not let his desire to play short term outweigh the need for him long term.

How many times in recent seasons have we rushed players back? FFS it's pre season and McKinnon is saying he's running about strapped up, the tails wagging the dog man.

Agreed

Agreed. McKinnon seems to push players back too soon. Thought we might have learned something from doing that with Toshney last season.

Murdoch back too apparently.

Tully saying probably won't be risked as hasn't kicked a ba in anger since the Falkirk home game and as much as I like him at RB his time with us has not exactly been injury free so best allowed time to come back fully fit.

The pre match ticket allocation ICT gave us is sold oot. Tickets can still be bought up there fae the "Ticket Pod" outside the ground. Looks like a decent support going up then.

A win and a clean sheet with a good few players missing.

Good result.✊

Tek · 05/8/2017 5:14 pm

Anyone that was up in Inverness.

Was Keatings ok after the tackle on him near the end?

Radio said it was a shocker.

Mass Debates · 05/8/2017 5:43 pm

Yep he was ok a few knocks after heafty tackles but there is nothing too bad.

Not the best game ever to say the least but we held on and three points from a shite performance is all we can ask for.

Awaiting the train hame taking in the lovely sights of the heeeelands
