Posted Saturday, September 14, 2019 by PA

Defender Liam Fontaine could return for Ross County’s Ladbrokes Premiership encounter with St Mirren after recovering from a hamstring injury.

Midfielder Ewan Henderson could make his debut after joining on loan from Celtic.

But County still have a lengthy injury list. Lee Erwin (ankle), Ross Draper (knee), Don Cowie and Lewis Spence (both knee) remain on the sidelines while Sean Kelly and Nathan Baxter are also struggling.

The Buddies have no fresh injuries with Ethan Erhahon, Kyle McAllister and Kyle Magennis all unscathed after returning from international duty.

Only striker Cody Cooke (knee) is unavailable for Jim Goodwin.
