RUDDEN EXPECTED TO BE BACK FOR ACCIES CLASH

Dundee will be without at least three players for the Championship home clash with Hamilton Accies.

The Dark Blues, however, are hopeful striker Zak Rudden can shrug off the issue that kept him out against Raith Rovers on Saturday.

Still missing for Dundee, though, will be Jordan Marshall and Paul Mcgowan.

Both have knee injuries with Marshall missing the last two and Mcgowan out since being an unused sub against Morton on October 22.

Marshall, however, has received positive news following a scan on an injury picked up at Queen’s Park, showing there will be no need for surgery.

When the left-back may be available again, though, is unclear.

As for the two who went off injured in the first half against Raith, Max Anderson is certainly out for this weekend.

He suffered a head wound and concussion protocols mean he is unavailable.

Joe Grayson limped off after 18 minutes with a calf injury.

“We will know more in the week with Joe,” boss Gary Bowyer said.
