Youssef Chermiti scored a hat-trick against Falkirk last time out but is injured
On-loan Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Conor McLeod has joined Falkirk's injury list after aggravating a knee injury on his debut.

Rangers midfielder Nico Raskin has missed the last two games amid transfer speculation.
Striker Youssef Chermiti is out long term with a cruciate ligament injury and left-back Tuur Rommens is sidelined for a number of weeks with a groin problem.
United sign former Dark Blue Cameron on loan from Rangerspublished at 21:06 BST 1 September

Lyall Cameron has headed back to Tayside, with the former Dundee midfielder joining city rivals United on a season-long loan from Rangers.
The 23-year-old was a youth with United before switching to Dundee, where he made 120 first-team appearances, winning international honours with Scotland Under-21s.
But he has played only 10 times for Rangers, half of those as a substitute, since signing for the Glasgow club last summer and spent the second half of last season on loan to Aberdeen.
United manager Jim Goodwin told his club website: "He's no stranger to this city and has tasted a lot of success here in his career to date, but he comes from a family of United fans and wants to make his mark in a Tangerine shirt.
"We think he will really complement our midfield options and also add that know-how of the club and of the area that he can pass on during his time here."
Cameron, who had loan spells from Dundee to Peterhead and Montrose, made 17 appearances for Aberdeen, all but four of them starts, but has not played since his return to Ibrox this summer.
Now, promising to "create chances and score goals and hopefully get the fans off their feet", he is excited about the prospect of making his United debut in Wednesday's Scottish Premiership visit to Motherwell.
"It's no secret my family are United fans, so I'm looking forward to be playing at Tannadice in front of the home supporters soon," he added.

The previous Premiership fixture between the clubs saw Rangers come out on top 5-2 at Falkirk last season. Youssef Chermiti netted a hat-trick, while Djeidi Gassama and Thelo Aasgaard also found the net. Calvin Miller scored with a penalty in the 44th minute for the Bairns. They also benefited from an own goal by Rangers' Jack Butland.
Rangers are unbeaten in the past four Premiership matches between the two clubs. A win for Falkirk would be their first against Rangers in the league since March 2016. During that period, Rangers have outscored the Bairns with 12 goals for and six against.
Hosts Falkirk lost their only previous Premiership contest at The Falkirk Stadium this season. The Bairns have a three-match Premiership home losing streak dating to May 9 against Hibernian. Rangers have one win and one draw away from Ibrox this season in two league contests. Rangers are on a three-match away unbeaten streak.
In three league matches this season, Falkirk have one draw and two losses. Rangers, meanwhile, have one win, one draw, and one loss.
Devlin wants to make amends after 'letting team down'published at 15:51 BST 1 September

Cammy Devlin admits he had to use all his "resilience" to bounce back from red-card hurt early in his Rangers career.
The Australia midfielder, who followed manager Derek McInnes to Ibrox from Tynecastle earlier this summer, was sent off in the first leg of Rangers' Conference League play-off tie against Jablonec.
McInnes' side won that game 1-0, but then lost by the same scoreline in the Czech Republic before being knocked out of Europe on penalties, which Devlin missed through suspension.
"I hate letting my team down and felt that was something I did there," Devlin said.
"I was absolutely devastated. People have seen me play for long enough now, I wear my heart on my sleeve.
"I work as hard as I can every day to be the best version of myself, the best player, the best team-mate.
"I have been brought to Rangers, something I'm so grateful for, so I'm doing everything in my power to do well myself but also help bring success to what is such a good team with good players.
"So for that to happen, and the way it happened, the still [photo] of it looks much worse if you actually watch the moment.
"We had the ball, I actually hit my head so I don't remember too much about it. I was so upset for that to happen, I am so desperate to do well.
"You have to show resilience in the tough moments and that was another one for me."
Devlin returned to the heart of midfield for a much-needed 1-0 win at Pittodrie on Sunday.
"Given the opportunity to play from the start on Sunday – I don't care if I play five minutes, one minute or 90 minutes I just want to play as well as I can," he said.
"I really wanted to do well and didn't care if I was the worst player on the pitch, I just wanted to win."
'Exciting times' - Sharp hopeful on Cameron dealpublished at 15:26 BST 1 September

Dundee United assistant manager Lee Sharp says things are ongoing over a potential move to sing Rangers midfielder Lyall Cameron on loan.
The 23-year-old has found game time hard to come by at Ibrox after moving there from United's rivals Dundee last summer, making just 10 appearances in all competitions for Rangers.
He spent the second half of last season at Aberdeen and he could head out on loan again, with United keen.
"I just know it is ongoing," Sharp said.
"If we managed to get him it would be a great addition to the squad with what he brings.
"Technically he is a very good player, he is one you would have looked at whatever team you were playing. If he was in the opposite team he is one you would have highlighted as a danger in terms of how he plays.
"So it is exciting times if we can get him in.
"His professionalism, his attitude and how he goes about things - it will be a good one if we can get that one done."
Meanwhile Sharp has admitted midfielder Vicko Sevelj was a player they didn't want to lose.
Despite their efforts to keep him, the Croatian midfielder departed earlier this week, joining Azerbaijan top division side Neftci PFK for an undisclosed fee.
"He has been excellent, the two years he has been here he has been really really good and a great lad as well," Sharp said.
"The club had done what they could to try and keep him, they had offered him a new contract, we weren't wanting to lose him but he wanted to explore that option he had."
Will Rangers build on solid win at Pittodrie?published at 11:13 BST 1 September
11:13 BST 1 September
Jamie Currie Fan writer
It's been a horrible start to the season for Rangers.
Player recruitment has been slow, the European campaign - if you can call it that - was nothing short of disgraceful, and Derek McInnes has been throwing mud at the wall to see what sticks with his team selections, substitutions and formations.
Sunday's game against Aberdeen was what I expected McInnes' team to be from day one. Rangers were solid and got over the line - hopefully it's a platform to build on rather than an outlier.
The only two players to impress in attack were Kim Min-Su and Djeidi Gassama. Kim looked like he wanted to be the fulcrum of the side and Gassama was lively.
I felt referee Matthew MacDermid got all the big decisions right, although the usual contrived nonsense online has started with regards to Kevin Nisbet's disallowed goal.
There were two incidents in there - a shove on Dujon Sterling and an offside, so it was rightly ruled out.
This win of comfort and solidity has to be built on at Falkirk on Wednesday and hopefully we will see some more players join before the window closes.
We have been heavily linked with a striker, plus we need another right winger and two midfielders. There is plenty to do to get this squad anywhere near the quality required.

How tough talks spurred Rangers on to gritty Pittodrie winpublished at 15:14 BST 31 August

Tough talking in the aftermath of Thursday's humiliating European exit helped Rangers regroup for their first league win of the season, says midfielder Dan Neil.
Derek McInnes' men were eliminated from Conference League qualifying by Jablonec in midweek before grinding out a narrow victory at Aberdeen on Sunday.
The win was manager McInnes' first in the Scottish Premiership as Rangers boss, and Neil says three points were the only option at Pittodrie.
"We spent time in Aberdeen as a team [after Thursday], in the hotel together, for a few days," he said.
"It wasn't a case of lads just going to their rooms on their iPads and nobody speaking.
"There were a lot of conversations, mostly about Thursday and the last few weeks, and about how important the game was on Sunday.
"No matter what we did, we had to come away with three points. I think you've seen the connections that we've built over the last few days out on the pitch."
Midfielder Neil, who signed from Sunderland on a three-year contract in July, added: "We try to speak as a team to iron out the things that maybe aren't going right at the minute.
"Obviously, I'm not going to go into what was said, but I think you've seen that all the lads are together and willing to fight for each other."
High praise for Kim but fans remain unconvinced by McInnes' Rangerspublished at 09:45 BST 31 August

We asked for your views after Rangers edged out Aberdeen to earn Derek McInnes his first Scottish Premiership win as Ibrox boss.
Here's what some of you had to say:
Stephen: Nice to see a new signing playing creatively and passing the ball forward to create opportunities. Kim Min-su made me watch the game with hope rather than apprehension.
John: Much better with Kim around Lawrence Shankland. He looks a good, positive prospect with skill, a bit of pace and an eye for a pass. In the weeks to come he and Shankland will get goals.
Mark: The first half was going nowhere, although the second half was much better. I just don't understand why our midfielders keep taking the ball and then immediately passing it backwards, rather than turning and playing forward.
Brian: A much-needed win for us, but watching the game I feel Rangers are still in limp mode when it comes to quality, vision and team play. A few players stepped up to the mark, and new signing Kim is the player that Rangers needed at the start of the season!
Greg: Not much to say other than it was an awful win. Two midfielders today were terrible. Not convinced with Dan Neil when Connor Barron is on the bench. We didn't sign Shankland to score penalties and so far I have seen nothing from him that suggests he should start. Can't see McInnes lasting long even this early on.
Graeme: Attacking urgency still isn't there. Very few spells where I thought they looked dangerous, but overall it's not quick enough. The manager needs to find his best XI quickly so that the team can gel, otherwise the season will be over before it starts.

Rangers manager Derek McInnes: "Contrasting feelings from Thursday night. It was a tough few days for us all. I thought today we were far more like the Rangers team I want us to be.
"[Kim Min-su] coming in gives us a much-needed dose of quality. We've been searching for that for a while. We've waited a long time for him and been a bit frustrated we haven't got him in quicker.
"The best part for me was the competitiveness of the team was clear. We get our clean sheet and it was a deserved win.
"We would have taken any win after Thursday. It's great to have a winning performance. The next one comes around quickly and we need to get ready.
"The goal took a bit long in coming. Special mention to Lawrence [Shankland]. It's not easy standing in front of the Aberdeen end for such a huge moment. That's part of the reason why we brought him here.
"Three games into a league campaign, it's not been the start we wanted. We saw last season that Rangers went so far behind and they still got themselves back into a title race.
"It's small steps in terms of points and performance. It will do the players the world of good."
On further transfer business before the end of the window, McInnes adds: "We're still trying to react to the Youssef [Chermiti] situation. We're pretty close on that one. Hopefully we can get our target in before Wednesday's game [against Falkirk]."
When asked if the potential new incoming is Portland Timbers striker Kevin Kelsy, McInnes responds: "I can't say anything until things are done."
