Dumbarton injuries mount ahead of Morton clash

Dumbarton will be looking to bounce back from their 5-0 thumping by Falkirk when Morton pitch up at the Cheaper Insurance Direct Stadium but they will need to do so with a mounting injury list.

Frazer Wright (knee), Scott Taggart (knee), Kevin Cawley (ankle) and Steven Craig (ankle) will all be missing but on-loan Celtic midfielder Jamie Lindsay returns after two months out with a groin injury.

Manager Stephen Aitken said: "Last Saturday was just one of those games where nothing went right. We gave away bad goals and you cannot do that and expect to win games.

"We are determined to put in a much better performance against a Morton side who have improved throughout the season."

Morton, who lost 3-1 to St Johnstone in the League Cup on Tuesday, will give the attacking threat of Bobby Barr and Alex Samuel until close to kick-off time to prove their fitness.

However, Frank McKeown (knee), Ricki Lamie (hamstring), Peter MacDonald (knee) and Romario Sabajo (ankle) are ruled out.

Manager Jim Duffy said: "We can take heart from our performance against St Johnstone in midweek in the League Cup despite losing. We played well against a good side so we can move on quickly and look forward to going for league points.

"This is our third meeting of the season so there will be no surprises. The team that turns up most for the game will win it."
