Temperatures will be below freezing tonight at the stadium but Gartland says it isn’t an issue for them.
The Lilywhites are second in their group, five points behind Zenit but one ahead of Maccabi Tel Aviv and three clear of AZ Alkmaar.
Robbie Benson is expected to miss out despite travelling with the squad.
