St Mirren striker Craig Dargo has suffered knee ligament damage and is unlikely to feature in Saturday's opening day clash with Motherwell.

The former Kilmarnock star strained a ligament during a closed-doors friendly against Clyde at Broadwood.

Buddies boss Gus MacPherson told the Paisley Daily Express: "It's very frustrating for him because he's only just come back from a thigh problem that he had earlier in pre-season.

"Now he has this knee problem and it's a big disappointment for him."

Defenders Ian Maxwell and Eddie Malone are also major doubts for Saturday's game after suffering knee injuries in pre-season, while a foot injury means midfielder Craig Molloy is sidelined until September.
