St Johnstone and Ross County have their own goalkeeping worries to contend with as they prepare to meet at McDairmid Park today.

St Johnstone will act as hosts to Ross County today and are hoping to complete the re-signing of goalkeeper Greg Kelly before the game. Kelly spent the start of the season with Saints providing cover while Alan Main recovered from shoulder surgery and is set to re-join from Montrose on a two-month loan. The Saints need the cover as reserve keeper Euan McLean is still sidelined by a wrist injury. Striker Andy Jackson will be missing again today but he is expected to resume training on Monday following his ankle injury. Manager Derek McInnes said: "It sounds easy saying `we just need to keep it going', but a lot of hard work has gone into the run we've put together. And that'll need to continue if we are to get a result against Ross County."

Ross County will be without first-choice goalkeeper Tony Bullock as reports suggest he has been suspended by the club for a fortnight. County deny he was involved in a training ground altercation with coach Ross Jack on Tuesday but have confirmed Bullock is not training with the rest of the squad and has been dropped from the team. Bullock has been an ever-present this term which gives County manager Derek Adams a headache. He said: "Tony has been given a leave of absence by the club for two weeks due to fatigue. He was complaining of tiredness and Derek Soutar will now be in contention for the game."
