Falkirk will again be missing defender Mehdi Khalis through injury as they look to haul themselves back into the title race by ending visitors` Dundee's 20-game unbeaten run.

A flu bug had manager Steven Pressley concerned about the availability of a couple of members of his first-team squad earlier in the week.

However, all of his men have returned to full training for a game that is shaping up as a must-win for the Bairns.

Pressley said: "Last Saturday's defeat from Dunfermline was very disappointing and we have been made to wait a few days longer to bounce back after the Thistle game was postponed in midweek.

"Dundee are a team in fine form but it is a game I am looking for my team to win."

Dundee have been dealt a blow with striker Sean Higgins requiring to undergo knee surgery that has ruled him out for the rest of the season.

Jonny Stewart has returned to Hearts at the end of his loan period, Neil McCann is no longer available as he has played his three games as a trialist and fellow trialist Craig Robertson is required by Junior side Lochee United.

Boss Barry Smith said: "We are really short of bodies but one thing we are not short of is spirit and I am sure the boys in the dressing room will give it their all.

"Falkirk need the points for their promotion push but we need them just as much as they do."
