He could be poised to make his competitive debut, meaning it could be possible that Livi could face three of their former team-mates as Steve Tosh and Michael Hart are also in the frame for a starting spot. One player who won't be playing is last week's Dunfermline goal here, Noel Whelan. He once again misses out with an Achilles problem, joining Chris Clark and Darren Mackie on the treatment table.

Livingston are in a sorry state of late on their travels, though the Mad panel can see them coming away from Pittodrie Stadium with a well-deserved point. Score draw
