McQueen blow for Clyde

Brian McQueen sits out a one-match ban as bottom-of-the-table Clyde welcome Montrose.

The defender picked up two bookings in the 5-2 defeat against Arbroath at the weekend, but manager Barry Ferguson is hopeful to have Rangers loanee Craig Halkett available following a neck injury.

Ryan Frances is available after his ban, but Andy Gibson is a doubt after picking up a knock on Saturday.

Ferguson has called on his side to improve, saying: "We are making mistakes that are costing goals or getting players sent off after mistakes and it is hurting us. The players train hard and train well but they have to take what they do in training onto the pitch."

Montrose's trialist goalkeeper Lucas Birnstingl could get a second outing for the Gable Endies after impressing in Saturday's 1-0 win at Elgin.

Birnstingl came in for the suspended Stuart McKenzie, who is now available but faces a fight to regain his place in the team.

Defender Declan O'Kane is also available following a ban while Ross Graham returns to contention, but Stephen Day misses out through work commitments and Danny Cavanagh is an injury doubt.

Manager George Shields is not being fooled by Clyde's lowly position, explaining: "From the reports I have looked at Clyde have played well enough to have more points and be further up the table so this will be a really hard game."
