Recent signing Josh Sims has been working on his fitness.

Zander Clark is rated 50-50 for St Johnstone’s game in Dingwall.

The Saints goalkeeper is battling back from a calf complaint but Perth boss Callum Davidson has no fresh injuries from last weekend’s win over Hearts.

Cammy MacPherson has been missing after dislocating his shoulder and Chris Kane, Shaun Rooney, Craig Bryson and David Wotherspoon are long-term absentees.
