Dobie Misses Out On Ireland Trip
New signing Scott Dobie has found himself on the treatment table already so will have to delay his Saints debut St Johnstone striker Scott Dobie has suffered groin strain and will miss the club's pre-season trip to Northern Ireland. Teh Perth side have lined up games against Lisburn Distillery on Tuesday and Dungannon Swifts on Thursday, with midfielder Jody Morris hoping to return from hernia surgery for the second game. Dobie, who signed recently form Carlisle, will stay in Perth for treatment on the injury, which he picked up during a win at Arbroath on Wednesday. Saints manager Derek McInnes said: "It's a bit of a frustration for Scott but we said we wouldn't take anyone across there who couldn't play a part. It's all about fitness and with the initial diagnosis indicating an absence of around 10 days I felt Scott was better placed staying home and working with the physio. He just over-stretched a bit at Gayfield but hopefully he can feature in the home matches we have coming up."
