Captain Barry Smith might just make the Livingstone match tonight, at a push. Whether Jim Duffy will risk him is another matter.

With Tom Hutchinson and Lee Wilkie forming a fine central defensive partnership in the derby Jim might keep Barry for Saturday's game at Partick, instead of rushing him back.

As reported on here on Wednesday Beto Carranza's recurring knee injury was not as bad as first feared. Though the knee is stiff, it doesn't seem to be too serious and Beto could be back in action within the next fortnight.
