“We will give Darren until the last minute”

Manager Paul Hartley confirmed he will give Darren O’Dea every chance to make the match against Aberdeen on Sunday.

Stand in skipper, O’Dea left the pitch against Kilmarnock during the first half with a foot injury. He went for a scan during the week and a positive outcome means he does have a chance of making the match.

Paul told the press, “We will give Darren until the last minute. He is very confident of playing. There is no fracture which is a bonus for us, we will give him right up to Sunday.”

It’s the first meeting of the sides this season and both have a similar record so far in the Ladbrokes Premiership, the manager said of the match, “Tough game, good fixture, always good games and always alot of goals. I expect another good game on Sunday.”

“We have still to probably hit top form. I think the form is coming and we want to try and turn those draws into three points.”
