Easton swells Dumbarton's numbers

Dumbarton are boosted by Dylan Easton's arrival for the game against Livingston.

Easton has joined from St Johnstone, however they are missing Jordan Kirkpatrick (hip) and Mark Gilhaney (nose), with Mark McLaughlin dropping out after moving to Clyde.

Assistant manager Guillaume Beuzelin has left for Hamilton, and boss Ian Murray said: "We knew that Guillaume would be leaving earlier in the week so it has not affected our preparations too much.

"This is a really important game as if we win it we have created a gap on Livingston that I do not think they can close. If we lose it they will reckon we are still in their sights."

Livingston will include Ibra Sekajja in their attack at the Bet Butler Stadium after a deal was agreed with the former Inverness striker until the end of the season.

Missing for the Lions are Brad Donaldson (ankle) and Gary Glen (knee), with recently-appointed manager Mark Burchill out for his first win.

Burchill said: "We are a side that are playing well but not taking our chances and hopefully that will change against Dumbarton.

"A win would be a great boost to everyone here and give us greater belief as well as taking us closer to Dumbarton and the teams in-between us in the table."
