Manager Craig Levein is without regular captain Darren Fletcher, who is preparing for Saturday's Champions League final with his Manchester United team-mates.
Craig Gordon, Alan Hutton and Graham Dorrans are absent due to injuries and Celtic midfielder Kris Commons withdrew from the squad with a hamstring problem.
Peterborough striker Craig Mackail-Smith is also out since he will be playing in Sunday's League One play-off final against Huddersfield.
Sunderland full-back Phil Bardsley has been troubled by a hip injury but could feature in Sunday's match with Republic of Ireland.
