Winger Stephen Carson, fast approaching the required fitness standard, was one of a number of players who impressed during Monday's closed door trial with Aberdeen.
He continues to be be put through extra training stints under the supervision of Maurice Malpas and Paul Hegarty and whether or not he gets a starting place against the Pars on Saturday will be decided
over the next few days.
"Stephen still has a wee bit to do in terms of fitness," explained Alex Smith, "although he is coming along well and looked a good bit better in yesterday's game than last week."
