Motherwell will be without the services of Michael Higdon and Stephen Craigan for the game.

Higdon was handed a one-match suspension for making an apparent gesture when celebrating his goal in Saturday's draw with Dundee United, while Craigan was ordered-off in the midweek victory over Dunfermline.

Defender Steven Saunders (Achilles) remains out, while reserve goalkeeper Lee Hollis has made an initial return to training after a hip injury.

Frazer Wright and Chris Millar are back in contention for St Johnstone.
