Derek Niven who played 75 minutes in the away game at Hartlepool, Derek has made good progress from his ankle ligament injury and was able to play in a reserve team midweek game this went well and after some good training sessions with the rest of the first team Derek was declared fit to play last Saturday.

Caleb Folan also played in the reserve game. Caleb played from 45 minutes although he had stiff muscles.  He resumed training with the first team last week and will have a full week training this week in his bid to regain full fitness. 

The other long term injured player is Kevin Dawson who is making good progress with his running and ball work sessions.  Kevin is due to see the specialist in about two weeks when hopefully we will get the all clear to increase his training.

As for the two new additions to the treatment room Mark Hudson has an adductor strain. Mark did this in training a couple of weeks ago although not too painful this has kept Mark out of three games so far. 

Everything has gone well at the moment if this continues he may be in conclusion for today's game.  And finally Mark Innes received a slight thigh strain in training a couple of weeks ago this has settled down nicely and Mark should be back in training very soon.
