City enter tomorrow’s derby game against Angus neighbours Arbroath with doubts over skipper Neil Janczyk and striker Rory McAllister.

Janczyk is suffering from a viral infection and McAllister is still feeling the effects of a work-related facial injury so it will be a last-minute decision as to whether or not they’ll be fit to face the Lichties.

Midfielder Kevin Byers gets married tomorrow so he’ll also miss the game but Richard Walker, Jon Seeley and Ian Nimmo all return to the squad.

Manager Jim Duffy is looking forward to pitting his wits against new Arbroath boss Jim Weir.

“ I would like to congratulate Jim on his appointment as Arbroath manager after a spell out of the game,” said Jim.

“ There’s no doubt that the Arbroath players will get a lift from the appointment of a new manager and they’ll certainly be fired up for tomorrow’s game.”

“ It’s difficult to know how Jim will set out his side’s stall for the game, but we have to be ready to respond however Arbroath approach the match.”

“ Our record at home this season has been very good, and we want to see that continue tomorrow. If we play to the standard we’re capable of, I’m confident we’ll get a good result.”

Arbroath have no injury worries or suspensions and Jim Weir will have a full squad at his disposal.
