Weir could miss Gers' German exam

16 September 2009 09:37
Gers boss Walter Smith hopes Weir, 39, will recover from an ankle knock in time to play against Markus Babbel's men at the Mercedes-Benz Arena. "We have a doubt over him," Smith told BBC Scotland. "Your central defensive partnership is a big thing, especially when you go away from home to play. "David was a big part of our last Champions League campaign, along with Carlos Cuellar (now with Aston Villa)." Stuttgart have had a disappointing start to the German Bundesliga season and currently find themselves in 12th place after winning just one of their first five league games, having finished third in the 2008/9 campaign. Looking ahead to Wednesday's match, striker Kenny Miller added: "If we are being honest, we are not playing up to our full potential either this season so it is a big game for both teams. "We want to use this as a kick-start and hopefully get some form going in the league as well. "Obviously it is a big game for them, but also it is a huge game for us as well."
