Tony Mowbray is considering starting fit-again Marc-Antoine Fortune in Thursday night's crunch Europa League clash with Hamburg.

Fortune came on as a second-half substitute in Saturday's 3-0 Clydesdale Bank Premier League win over Kilmarnock, his first action since injuring his knee against Arsenal in August.

"Marco is fit and ready," Mowbray said. "He's been out for nine weeks and got 20 minutes or half an hour the other day. Am I tempted to play him? Yes."

He added: "The more high-quality players on the pitch, the better it is but we have some strikers who will be bursting to score on Thursday night.

"So we will wait and see what we decide."
