Consecutive home games against Barnsley and Peterborough United are not just win-able ... but a necessity!
Barry Robson is set to return from suspension against Barnsley, while Scott McDonald faces a fitness test.
The £3.2m signing was an unexpected late withdrawal at Ipswich on Saturday with a groin niggle.
Strachan: “We had eight or nine players unavailable at Ipswich.
“It will be good to have Barry Robson back, and we have to see how Scott is feeling.
“We thought he would be OK, but it seems he got through the week on adrenaline in training, and it was a bit tight on the Friday.
“One thing I’m not going to do at the moment is take risks with anybody.”
