PERTH — Sam Stanton’s training-ground ankle cut, which needed stitches, could keep him out for up to a month, with Valakari calling a return before the Dundee match “touch and go”. Kai Fotheringham begins a two-game suspension after his Ibrox red card and is also targeting that Dundee fixture at the earliest.
“We’ll miss the game changers off the bench,” said a fictional fan. “Someone else will have to be brilliant for twenty minutes. Applications on a postcard.”
No jokes about injuries here — just get well soon, and see you back in the middle.
