Josip Juranovic looks set for a return to action on Saturday after being spotted in a training video from Lennoxtown today.
The defender suffered a hamstring injury early in the 1-1 draw against Dundee United on September 26 and has been missing since then.
On Friday Ange Postecoglou ruled Juranovic out of the weekend win over Motherwell but hinted that he could be back in contention this weekend.

Juranovic’s availability gives Ange Postecoglou the opportunity to change both full-backs for the visit of St Johnstone on Saturday. Tony Ralston and Adam Montgomery started Tuesday’s win over Ferencvaros.
The Croatian has played in both full-back positions with Boli Bolingoli making his second appearance of the season in the win over Motherwell.
Ralston has impressed at right-back which could see Adam Montgomery, Bolingoli and Juranovic competing for a place at left-back.
James McCarthy could be in contention for Saturday’s match with James Forrest and Chris Jullien still likely to be a few weeks away from pushing for a place.
