However, Sean Dillon is available again after a recent shin injury.County defender Marcus Fraser is available after recovering from a hamstring strain.And Fraser has called on his team to remain focused in a league where every club is now "fighting and scratching" for victories.Jim McIntyre's side have won five and drawn one of their last six games to take them off the bottom of the table and up to 10th place.While it looks like the Staggies have hit form at the right time in their bid to avoid the drop, the 20-year-old former Celtic man, who joined County in January, stressed that every club in the league has their own agenda in the closing stages of the campaign."I think it will go all the way to the end of the season," he said
"Some clubs are fighting for their lives and a few of the clubs like St Johnstone, who we play after Dundee United, and Kilmarnock, who we played in our last game, are trying to get into the top six."Everyone will be fighting and scratching to get the three points."Everyone has their own targets and everyone wants to take points from the games, so you are never going to get any easy games, especially at this time of the season when pitches aren't at their best and the weather might not be the best."The manager keeps telling us that Motherwell, St Mirren and Partick Thistle are all going to be picking up points."But we just need to take care of ourselves when the games come and get all the points we can from now until the end of the season."Tony Dingwall is suspended and Michael Gardyne is ineligible under the terms of his loan deal from United.Rocco Quinn, Ben Frempah and Richard Brittain are all back in training following long-term injuries but are not expected to feature while Darren Barr (knee) remains on the sidelines
