Pars’ Dorrans dilemma
JOHN Hughes insists he is prepared to take a “chance” on a cameo from Graham Dorrans in Friday’s crunch clash with Queen of the South.
The former Dundee, Rangers, West Brom and Scotland midfielder has been sidelined for seven weeks with a calf injury but has stepped up his training in the wake of Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Partick.
The loss leaves the Pars ninth in the Championship and desperately seeking a victory over alreadydoomed Queens on Friday so they can avoid that dreaded relegation playoff spot should Ayr United slip up against Partick.
The return of Dorrans would be a massive pickme-up for the Fifers in such a crucial game.
He said: “He’s ahead of schedule.
“He’s trained and he did a lot more training on Monday than he has done.”
