Nisbet picked up a knock midway through the second half of the first leg and sat out Sunday’s win against Ross County, but he should be available for the second leg.

Rijeka captain Nino Galovic returned to the centre of defence in place of North Macedonia international Darko Velkovski in the first leg and lasted 90 minutes so is expected to lead the side again.
