Annan hope to have former Clyde winger Stuart McColm back before Christmas.
McColm has been out since the 2-2 draw with Montrose on November 15 but is moving closer to a return to action for the promotion-chasing Galabankies.
Boss Jim Chapman said: “Stuart was ordered to rest for three weeks to help him get over his injury and that time is just about up. We will ease him back into things over the next couple of weeks and hopefully we will see him in an Annan strip again by December 20 when we play at Queen’s Park.”
