Two Pars miss Doonhamers visit
Dumbarton will be missing David van Zanten (knee) and Jordan Kirkpatrick (hip) when they host Queen of the South.
Lee Mair is struggling with a hamstring problem, Andy Graham is available after missing the 3-0 defeat from Hibs last Saturday as his wife was in labour while Chris Turner in line for a start after returning to fitness.
Manager Ian Murray said: "I was disappointed with our performance against Hibs and will be making changes as a result. We never got our passing game going and that hurt us.
"Queen of the South are a strong side and they will hurt us if we give the ball away."
Queen of the South striker Gavin Reilly will miss out due to a hamstring injury.
However, midfielder Ian McShane has been passed fit after missing the 2-1 defeat from Hearts last weekend.
The Doonhamers will need to get over their disappointment at losing a late goal to the league leaders to see off the Sons, according to manager James Fowler, who said: "It was a sore one as it was a deflected goal but we need to put that behind us.
"We will need the same level of performance that we put in against Hearts to see off a strong Dumbarton side who can still make the play-offs."
