Aberdeen will be without defender Lee Mair, who is facing six weeks out with a knee injury suffered last weekend.

Jeffrey de Visscher and Richie Byrne are still missing, but Jackie McNamara has recovered from a knock.

Celtic striker Scott McDonald could make his domestic debut as he is now free of suspension.

Striker Kenny Miller and goalkeeper Artur Boruc will be given fitness tests after missing Wednesday's Champions League qualifier in Moscow.
