Manager Alex Smith was spending Thursday deciding who should take over from suspended Dave Hannah when Aberdeen visit Tannadice at the weekend.
Leading candidates to replace the goal hero against Rangers last Sunday are Tassos Venetis, Tony Smith and Hugh Davidson, with Greek star Venetis apparently favourite. "He has been playing very well for the under-21s and is in my thoughts, but I have not made up my mind yet."
Alex was happy with a closed door win at Arbroath last night that saw the likes of Beto Naveda, David McCracken, Mvondo Atangana and Steven Thompson get valuable match practice.
