Jos Hooiveld and Glenn Loovens have trained after recovering from hamstring injuries but Thomas Rogne (hamstring), Diomansy Kamara (hamstring), Niall McGinn (thigh) and Paddy McCourt (knee) are all out, while Shaun Maloney will join full training next week following his return from tendinitis.
Craig Bryson and Simon Ford are back in the Kilmarnock squad after recovering from hamstring and knee injuries respectively.
