Aberdeen v St Mirren preview

Team news for Saturday's Scottish Premier League clash between Aberdeen and St Mirren at Pittodrie Stadium.

Aberdeen manager Craig Brown hopes to have a full squad for the clash.

Striker Mohamed Chalali (groin) is his biggest doubt but Kari Arnason (hamstring) and Ryan Jack (toe) should feature.

Strike pair Scott Vernon and Rory Fallon have also improved their fitness after playing through knocks last weekend.

St Mirren midfielder Steven Thomson remains on the sidelines.

Thomson attempted a comeback from a calf injury in training in midweek but the problem persists.

Saints have an unchanged squad with Hugh Murray still short of match fitness after recovering from knee surgery.

Aberdeen (from): Brown, Foster, Considine, Mawene, Osbourne, Clark, Milsom, Jack, Pawlett, Fyvie, Magennis, Fallon, Mackie, McArdle, Gonzalez, Megginson, Arnason, Vernon.

St Mirren (from): Samson, Mair, van Zanten, McAusland, Tesselaar, Goodwin, Carey, McLean, Thompson, Haddad, McGowan, Hasselbaink, Teale, McKee, Smith, Barron, McShane, Mooy.
