Injury-plagued striker Craig Dargo could make his long-awaited St Mirren debut this weekend.

The 29-year-old forward hasn't made an appearance since joining the Buddies from Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the summer.

But after proving his fitness after a six-month battle with knee problems, Dargo has been included in the squad to face Kilmarnock on Saturday.

"He's not match sharp," admitted manager Gus MacPherson.

"But unfortunately he is going to have to get his fitness through first-team games because the reserves have closed down and the sheer volume of games.

"He's in the squad, but I've got a decision as to whether I put him on the bench.

"He has trained with us for a couple of weeks. He has looked sharper and stronger with every session and this is the next stage."
