Queen of the South will be without Michael Paton for their Scottish Cup fourth-round replay against St Mirren this evening.

The 24-year-old attacker suffered a hamstring injury during his side's 1-0 victory over Dumbarton on Saturday and has failed to recover in time for tonight's clash at St Mirren Park in Paisley.

There are no other major injury worries for manager Jim McIntyre, who will have Derek Lyle leading his team's attack.

Meanwhile, St Mirren will have Gary Harkins and Steven Thompson as their two forwards, with Jim Goodwin, John McGinn, Kenny Mclean and Conor Newton playing behind them in midfield.

St Mirren: Kello; Van Zanten, McGregor, McAusland, Grainger; Goodwin, McGinn, Mclean, Newton; Harkins, Thompson

Queen of the South: Clark; Mitchell, Holt, Durnan, Higgins; McKenna, Burns, McShane, Carmichael, Russell; Lyle
