Annan restore Watson and Omar to their squad to tackle Montrose

Annan are able to call on Peter Watson and Rabin Omar for their game against Montrose in Ladbrokes Scottish League Two.

Watson is available again following suspension and striker Omar has been restored to the squad.

Manager Jim Chapman will finalise his side after fitness checks on Steven Black and Steven Sloan, with the Galabank boss looking to turn plaudits into points.

He said: "We have received praise for our home performances this season as we have been involved in a number of swashbuckling games. "However, the reality is that we have only picked up one point so far and I want that to improve.

"We are also looking to bounce back from losing at East Stirling so there are a few reasons to win this one."

Montrose manager Paul Hegarty has a full squad to choose from as he looks to make up for a defeat the last time his side pitched up at Annan.

Hegarty explained: "We lost 4-3 towards the end of last season so it would be good to take something home this time.

"We are going there after a couple of wins and I have to commend the players for the mental toughness they showed last week against Clyde.

"We were under pressure before getting established in the game. We then missed a penalty however we stuck at things to get the win and with that approach we can win this one."
