“I’m hoping to make a swift recovery and be back in the dugout as quickly as possible.
“Having never missed a game previously in management, obviously I’m frustrated at not being able to be physically attending Easter Road tomorrow.
“However, I am 100 per cent with every player, staff member, and supporter in spirit to fight for a very important three points.”
