New Hearts manager Jim Jefferies again has major injury problems for the Co-operative Insurance Cup semi-final with St Mirren on Tuesday night.

Lee Wallace (hip) could return at Fir Park, while Andrew Driver should again be involved provided he has no reaction to his knee injury after his comeback at St Johnstone on Saturday.

But Marius Zaliukas (hamstring) is doubtful while Ruben Palazuelos, Scott Robinson (both knee) and Ian Black (back) will again be missing.

David Templeton (foot), Calum Elliot, Craig Thomson, Johnny Stewart, (all knee), Laryea Kingston (hamstring), Arvydas Novikovas and Jamie MacDonald (both ankle) also remain sidelined.

Hearts (from): Kello, L Wallace, Zaliukas, Goncalves, Kucharski, Bouzid, Cinikas, J Thomson, Jonsson, Obua, M Stewart, Balogh, Smith, Visconte, Driver, Nade, R Wallace, Glen.
