It's the penultimate league game of the season tomorrow afternoon as City travel to face Livingston at the Tony Macaroni Arena.
The Lions, who have surpassed all expectations this season are currently battling to secure 2nd place in the Championship and will pose a stiff test for a City side coming off the back of a heavy defeat against Dundee United midweek.
TEAM NEWS
After coming off with an injury midweek, Jordan Sinclair has been ruled out and may also miss the final game of the season against Queen of the South at Glebe Park. Both Euan Spark and Gary Fusco are rated as 50/50. Striker Dylan Mackin will not be available to play against his parent club due to terms of loan agreement.
On a more positive note - despite each picking up their 6th yellow cards of the season against Dundee United, suspensions for both skipper Paul McLean and midfielder Callum Tapping won't kick until next season.
MATCH OFFICIALS
Steven Reid will take charge of the game tomorrow, assisted by Willie Conquer and Calum Doyle. The last time Reid officiated a City match was a 2-0 defeat against Stranraer at Stair Park in February last year.

Goals from Craig Halkett and Dylan Mackin had Livi sitting comfortably but a late penalty converted by Kalvin Orsi five minutes from time set up a grandstand finish, however the home side held out for all three points.
