Igor Rossi and Jamie Walker, making just his second start since October, came off at Easter Road, but Neilson has allayed fearsover their fitness.

“[Prince] Buaben will be back and [Alim] Ozturk will be back,” he explained. “Igor Rossi was taken off because he had tight calves. The rest are fine. Walker is just back from a long-term injury and he’d worked really hard, so he tightened up a bit.”
