The duo are added to a lengthening injury list for the clash this weekend after Danny Fox, Kevin Thomson, Robert Snodgrass, Shaun Maloney and Garry O'Connor pulled out earlier in the week because of injury. Celtic midfielder Brown had travelled to London to see a specialist over his long-standing ankle problem, but has now been advised not to travel. Dundee United midfielder Craig Conway has been added to the squad, hours after Tannadice team-mate Scott Robertson was also called up. Lee Miller and Lee Wallace have also been drafted into the pool. Several other players are also struggling, but Burley added: "It's too early to say at the moment. "There are a number with knocks and I think we had a five-a-side at training today. "But we are assessing the situation and looking at it and the medical people will be looking at the players over the next four or five hours. "We will see who is going to be fit and, if we need to bring anyone else in, we will do that." He added: "I won't play anyone who has an injury, I will only play players who are fit and that's why I am looking at it carefully."
