St Mirren face 'last minute' calls on key strikers ahead of crucial Aberdeen clash

St Mirren could be without a single senior striker for their potentially decisive match with Aberdeen.

The Buddies travel to Pittodrie tomorrow night looking for a win to keep their European football hopes afloat.

Stephen Robinson may have to do so without Curtis Main and Alex Greive, who both face a race against time to be fit for the game.

Main picked up a foot injury against Celtic, while Greive hasn't trained this week with an ongoing knock.

Saints strikers Tony Watt and Jonah Ayunga were already ruled out for the season, meaning St Mirren academy duo Lewis Jamieson, 21, and 19-year-old Kieran Offord could be in line to make their first Premiership starts of the season in the massive clash.

Robinson told PA Sport: "Curtis Main has not trained since the Celtic game. He has taken a knock but he had an X-ray and there is no break, but he is unlikely to train.

"I think he likes scoring against Aberdeen, he enjoyed his goals the last time, so he will do everything in his power to be fit.

"Alex Greive is with the physio running. We are just going to have to assess those two at the last minute.

"We have no senior fit strikers. We have young LJ and Kieran, who are very, very good young players, who may have to come into the fold, depending on where we are. We will have a session in the morning and see where we are.

"I have no qualms in throwing the two young boys in. As much as I want our senior strikers fit, especially after Curtis's performance on Saturday, we will go with real belief whoever is in the team."
