Just beat me to it, Trus.

This'll be good experience for young (16 y/o?) McCrorie on the bench, but let's hope we don't have to call on him during the match.

Aird out injured. Not too disappointed by that despite McCoist's assertion: "Lewis has been doing well but so is Airdy..."
He needs some time out of the team to get his basics together, but to be fair to McCoist praising the player in public will do him a lot more good than criticising him.

Smith definitely deserves some time on the pitch and his set pieces and cross balls are a class above anyone else's at the moment. If it hadn't been for the injury problems that somewhat reduced his mobility he'd have been an automatic pick for us for years at left back.

I'd probably have liked to see Clark or Daly get a start in this one to keep things fresh and competitive, but if Boyd and Miller have the stamina to keep playing form the start then their performances merit their places.

Temps badly needs some game time but I can't see where he would fit in with the other players available.
