Team news ahead of Wednesday night's SPL clash between St Johnstone and Hibernian at McDiarmid Park (Kick-off 7:45pm).

St Johnstone boss Steve Lomas will assess Nigel Hasselbaink after the Saints striker hobbled off with a knock in the 2-1 win over Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Saturday.

Kevin Moon, Jamie Adams and Peter Pawlett remain on the sidelines.

Hibernian captain James McPake and fellow defender Tim Clancy will certainly miss out.

McPake has a back injury and Clancy had a minor operation on a troublesome groin injury, but could return in two to three weeks.

Northern Ireland international McPake could also miss Sunday's Scottish Cup fourth round clash with Hearts, who beat Hibs to the trophy in May's final.

Gary Deegan (jaw) remains out.
