Motherwell wait on Scott for Saints clash

Motherwell will check on the fitness of James Scott after the striker missed much of their preparation for the visit of St Johnstone through illness.

Winger Christian Ilic is still recovering from a hamstring issue.

Long-term absentees David Devine (cheekbone), Charles Dunne (groin) and David Turnbull (knee) remain unavailable.

St Johnstone are without the suspended Murray Davidson and Callum Hendry.

Both were sent off in last weekend’s 1-1 draw with Aberdeen.

Otherwise, manager Tommy Wright has a fully-fit squad to select from.

Motherwell provisional squad: Gillespie, Tait, Carroll, Grimshaw, Mugabi, Hartley, Gallagher, Donnelly, O’Hara, Maguire, Polworth, Campbell, Seedorf, Hylton, Donnelly, Long, Cole, Scott, Carson.

St Johnstone provisional squad: Clark, Duffy, Ralston, Tanser, Vihmann, Kerr, Callachan, Holt, Swanson, Craig, McCann, Wright, O’Halloran, Kane, May, Kennedy, Wotherspoon, Booth, Parish.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
