I cant help but feel our fate and McPake's fitness are intrinsically linked

If Mcpake stays fit and available to us I think we will be fine, if not it will be difficult. I cant think of a more important player for us at the moment.

I agree, the only player with leadership qualities, hopefully can get himself fit sooner than later. Would love to see him in the team permanently

One of the few positives from a shocker of a season has been the contribution made by McPake. Hope to God he's fit and in the side on Sunday.

McPake has added a bit of quality at the back that we haven't had for a few years now. We need him if we are do well in the cup / stay up.

Let's hope he is fit from now until may! :pray:

If the team are travelling up on the Sunday morning I would send Mcpake up on the Saturday and book him in to a hotel.I think it might be better for his back than a three hour coach journey just before the game.

[At The Edge]

I would imagine they'll go up on Sat, they had Monday off, so training all week, then up to Inverness or somewhere on Sat, then a short trip onto Inverness on Sunday

That's just asking for a night in Jonny Foxes! :greengrin

Yip, McPake, along with Booth, are about the only players I'd definitely keep out of that whole squad.

He has his injury problems, but at least he'll give 100% and not do a disappearing act or take the easy option like most of the players.

I agree with the op. our defence is gash without mcpake! Hanlon and co can't organise a defence. Mcpake back should see u win enough points to stay up and maybe even win us the cup hail hail
