Stenhousemuir without key pair

STENHOUSEMUIR have been dealt a double suspension blow ahead of tonight's Bell's Cup quarter-final clash against St Mirren. The Third Division side will be without experienced Colin Cramb, who was sent off for violent conduct in their league game at Arbroath on Saturday, and Frankie Carroll, who has picked up two yellow cards in the competition.

"We will have to put our thinking cap on about our line up," said manager Des McKeown, whose side will face a St Mirren team who will be without the services of Craig Hinchcliffe, Mark Reilly and Ryan McCay and player/manager Gus MacPherson.

Hamilton will give a late fitness test to striker Ian Harty, but Mark Gilhaney, Pat Keogh and Paul McLean miss out against Dundee, who may have Tom McManus back.

Raith Rovers' new recruit David Bagan is racing to be fit to face his former club, St Johnstone, while Scott Crabbe, Emilio Jaconelli and Stephen Tulloch will also get late checks. Jason Scotland returns for Saints but Kevin James is a doubt and Neil Jaczyk is out.
