Rooney moved to Paisley from Fleetwood Town during the summer and has clocked up ten appearances so far. He scored on his debut against Valur Reykjavik in August.

However, the 28-year-old will be unavailable for selection until further notice, ruling him out of this week's Premiership clash at Motherwell.
