Queen of the South will be without striker Michael Paton against Dumbarton tomorrow after the former Aberdeen man failed to recover from a hamstring injury picked up against Falkirk last weekend.
The Doonhamers had hoped Paton’s early substitution would have prevented him missing any more games but he will not be fit to face the Sons.
Manager Jim McIntyre said: “Michael’s injury has eased up a bit but there is still some discomfort there so we cannot risk him against Dumbarton. Hopefully, he will be good to go against Hamilton next weekend.”
