The Ross County talisman missed the team’s defeat to Aberdeen in Dingwall.
He only joined the Dingwall outfit last summer, but had already become a key part of the Staggies squad.
He made his Scotland under-21 bow in the last window – but could teammates soon join him on the international stage?
The Staggies will be looking to bounce back to form after a disappointing display against Dundee United last time out.
He has made over 30 appearances across all competitions since moving to the Highlands last summer.
A close to fully fit squad means Don Cowie is having to make tough decisions every single week about who gets on the pitch.
The 24-year-old had gone from a top academy to part-time football before moving to Dingwall, but has thrived ever since.
The Staggies were beaten by a set-piece at home against top-six chasing Dundee United, but there was still time for them to recover.
He put pen-to-paper on a two-year contract extension with the club earlier this week.
The 17-year-old has been on loan at Invergordon this season, and is at the top of the division’s scoring charts.
