Brechin City - Albion Rovers Match Preview

Brechin City will welcome Albion Rovers to Glebe Park tomorrow night in a rearranged Ladbrokes League One fixture.

City will be hoping to get back on the rails against Rovers after a disappointing three-match spell which has brought three defeats with four goals conceded and none scored. Admittedly, City have had a really serious injury situation to deal with during that period and manager Darren Dods will be boosted by the fact that Alan Trouten, Finn Graham and Andy Jackson will all be available tomorrow night after they took part with no ill effects in the latter stages of Saturday's match at Queens Park and In addition, skipper Paul McLean will also come back into the reckoning having served his two-match suspension. City should therefore be back on much more familiar lines with only Chris O'Neil and James Dale unavailable.

Rovers manager Darren Young will be looking for a positive reaction from his players after they went down to a narrow 1-0 defeat from leaders Livingston at the Exsel Group Stadium on Saturday with Nicky Cadden converting a spot-kick for Livi with just a minute left on the clock.

The only previous meeting between the sides this season took place at the Exsel Group Stadium on 13th August when goals from Alan Trouten (pen) and Andy Jackson secured victory for City.
