Key man back for Saints trip

Burton O'Brien is pushing for a recall for Falkirk's trip to St Johnstone after recovering from illness.

O'Brien is expected to be drafted back into Steven Pressley's starting line-up for the clash after making good progress this week. Falkirk will be without midfielder Vitor Lima, however, while Mark Stewart and Carl Finnigan are also in contention as they step up their comebacks from injury.
