Trouten set to sit out
Brechin City look set to be without Alan Trouten, who has a groin injury, when they attempt to equal a club record of 17 league games unbeaten against Airdrie.
Gerry McLauchlan, Paul McLean and Darren McCormack picked up knocks in the midweek draw with Dunfermline but manager Ray McKinnon expects them to be fit.
McKinnon said: "The players battled back to get a point on Tuesday which ensured that Dunfermline did not close the gap we have on them. We will need those battling qualities again to see off a good Airdrie side who are on a decent run of their own."
Airdrie miss only back-up goalkeeper Rohan Ferguson, who suffered an injury to his face recently, as they try to end Brechin's fine run.
Manager Gary Bollan said: "I have watched Brechin twice in recent weeks and they are a very good side. They have confidence in their ranks but so have we, as we are a decent run ourselves and I thought our 4-1 win over Stirling last weekend was an excellent performance.
"If we can win this game then it would send out a marker in terms of our involvement in the top half of the table. "
