NEIL SET TO REPLACE SEAN

28th November 2000

Young winger Sean O'Connor looks likely to miss Tuesday night's SPL clash with Kilmarnock at Tannadice. The ankle knock O'Connor picked up just after he scored the opener against Dunfermline on Saturday has healed well, but food poisoning looks like forcing him out.

"What we are looking for from a player in Sean's position is a hard shift and it might not be fair to ask that of him after he's been ill for a couple of days," explained boss Alex Smith.

Neil Heaney is the most likely candidate to take over, though the Manager will not finalise his team until shortly before kick-off.
