Things and looking brighter on the injury front

Jefferies' striking options may be increased for the game against Celtic Jim Jefferies expects to welcome Stephen Elliot and Calum Elliot back to training in the next day or two, with Andrew Driver returning to full training next week. There is no chance of Driver getting any game time against Celtic on Saturday but the two strikers are still options which Jefferies may include in his starting line-up. David Obua played and scored for Uganda in an African Cup of Nations qualifier against Angola on Friday night and Jefferies is hoping he will return unscathed and ready for the game against Neil Lennon's men.Jefferies said: "Things are starting to clear up and everyone is on the mend. Andrew Driver won't make the Celtic match as he will only do the warm-ups with us before joining in properly next week. Stephen Elliott and Calum Elliot will hopefully train later this week and after that I will have a better idea regarding the Celtic game. It was good to hear that David Obua played well and scored for Uganda and he will have benefited from that match time. Lee Wallace has also improved so things are looking up on the injury front for sure. We still have a few boys away on international duty and hopefully they come through unscathed. It won't be long before we have everyone available again and that's a real positive for me."
