City welcome Jim Duffy's Dumbarton side to Glebe Park tomorrow for a crucial League One clash as 9th take on 8th.

It may be too early to be throwing around the term 'six-pointer', however both sides will be acutely aware of the significance tomorrow's match could have on their season.

A win for City will bring them level on points with the Sons in the table and could even leapfrog them in the table on goal difference. A defeat meanwhile would see the Reds fall six points adrift of automatic safety, albeit with a game in hand.

TEAM NEWS
Brechin City have entered the transfer market for the second time in this January window, this time securing the services of striker Ross Kavanagh who has signed for The Club from Peterhead. All terms have been agreed and he comes into the Manager's thoughts for tomorrow's game, subject to confirmation of registration with the Scottish FA. There are no new injury concerns, leaving Ryan McGeever, Callum Tapping and Dene Shields as the only definite absentees.

The Club has also confirmed that Livingston youngster Cameron Blues has returned to his parent club at the end of his loan period. The midfielder made 3 starts and 4 substitute appearance, scoring once, that being in the memorable 4-0 victory over Forfar Athletic at The Glebe in November. In addition, Harvey Dailly, has also left Glebe Park, with an agreement now in place to convert his loan agreement with Carnoustie Panmure into a permanent transfer. He started once for City and made one substitute appearance in early season Cup Ties at Peterhead and Dundee. We wish both players well.

City fans at Gayfield last weekend were generally in agreement that the 1-0 defeat to runaway league leaders Arbroath brought with it a hugely more encouraging performance than in recent weeks. Manager Barry Smith commented: "There were a lot of positives to take from last weekend, even in defeat. We were delighted to have added the experience of Scott Robertson, and now we're equally pleased to attract striker Ross Kavanagh to Glebe Park. He is a hardworking attacker with an eye for goal and both players will be very good additions to the squad. We are trying hard to bring in another few faces which will add quality and competition."
