We were hoping to take him with us tomorrow but unfortunately he is still laid low.[LNB]"Steven Whittaker has a hamstring injury and will not be available either.[LNB]"We have called Charlie Adam into the squad who did very well at the weekend and scored a cracking goal for Blackpool.[LNB]"He is a very good replacement, he has been playing very consistently, he is a quality player and he is getting a real benefit from playing regularly."[LNB]Burley will also continue to monitor the sickness of captain Darren Fletcher, who has been troubled with an ankle problem recently.[LNB]He added: "We will train tomorrow and see how everyone is.[LNB]"It's nice to get the squad back together again and this is a game we are all looking forward to."[LNB]Goalkeeper Craig Gordon was already forced to withdraw after suffering a fracture to his arm, resulting in a recall for St Mirren goalkeeper Paul Gallacher.[LNB][LNB]
