Chris Millar will miss tomorrow’s clash with Celtic, but a scan has revealed that the influential St Johnstone midfielder doesn’t have a serious groin injury.
Manager Tommy Wright, who was keen to get to the bottom of the issue, reported: “It is a different area than the problem last year. It is a grade one tear.
“Chris will be out for seven to 10 days.”
Wright added: “Tam Scobbie is out for three or four weeks with a knee injury but the international break is coming up.
“Keith Watson will train towards the end of next week and Michael Coulson will be the same.
“We have had a few injury problems, with four or more out, but we have started well and that shows the depth of the squad.
“The players who have come in have done well.”
