Motherwell hopeful about duo

Hammell, who has missed most of the season with a groin injury, and Pearson (hamstring strain) went off in the second half of Motherwell's 3-1 win at Ibrox on Thursday night but reported major progress following treatment on Friday.

Defender Louis Laing came through the game without any reaction to his recent groin problem.

Provisional squad: Long, Law, Hammell, Laing, McManus, Lasley, Pearson, Ainsworth, Johnson, Erwin, McDonald, Straker, Moore, Sutton, Ramsden, Grant, Watt, Carswell, O'Brien, Twardzik.
