O'HARA IS SIDELINED WITH FOOT INJURY

Match blow for gaffer Robbo

Stephen Robinson has been dealt a huge blow as St Mirren captain Mark O'Hara looks to remain sidelined with a foot injury.

The Saints skipper had been playing through the pain barrier for the club, with the 29-year-old having injections for the League Cup semifinal at Hampden against Motherwell.

However, since then, O'Hara has missed matches against Hibernian and Celtic due to the problem, and Robbo admits it is dragging out longer than the club had hoped, with his midfielder set to miss today's match against Dundee in the City of Discovery.

"Mark O'Hara and Ryan Mullen aren't available. With Mark, it's dragging on a lot longer than we thought," he said.

"He's not responded to the two separate injections, so we will try something else on Monday.

"It's not a serious issue but something that's stopping him from playing.

"It's the bottom of his foot, the worst place possible; you put all your pressure through it.
