Lyle's injury has left Dundee short of strikers

Dundee striker Derek Lyle has been ruled out of Saturday's Scottish Cup quarter-final after falling through a glass table at home.

The 27-year-old, who left Queens to join Dundee in 2006, would have been in line to start with both Colin McMenamin and Mickael Antoine-Curier cup-tied.

But Lyle required stitches in his stomach after the freak accident.

It means that Bob Davidson, who scored as a substitute against Stirling on Saturday, could start against Queens.
