Match Preview
Gilfillan banned for Annan Annan will be without suspended midfielder Bryan Gilfillan for the visit of league leaders Arbroath. Manager Harry Cairney is also sweating on the fitness of Neil MacFarlane and Jack Steele who suffered knocks at the weekend. The Galabank men will move into a play-off place if they can finally overcome their hoodoo of having never won a game in midweek since becoming an SFL side two-and-a-half years ago. Cairney said: "I think mentioning our record to the players the other week has backfired a wee bit as people have made it a bigger thing than it needs to be. "This would be a great game regardless of whether it is a midweek game or a weekend one." Arbroath manager Paul Sheerin has midfield dynamo Ross Chisholm available after a two-game ban for the trip. However, defender Alan Rattray remains sidelined through injury. Sheerin is hoping his table-topping men show more energy after they looked jaded during Saturday's game at Hampden against Queen's Park, where the Red Lichties sneaked away with a point. Sheerin said: "For some reason we were second to everything at Hampden, particularly in the first half, and we looked really laboured and almost lacklustre throughout. "Hopefully we have that out of our systems now and can go to Annan up for the challenge. Annan won at our place earlier in the season so I know how difficult this game will be."

Match Report
Arbroath edge ill-tempered clash Arbroath cemented their place at the top of the table with a 2-1 win over Annan in an ill-tempered game which saw three players sent off. All the action happened in a frenetic second half, with the visitors grabbing two quick-fire goals within eight minutes of the restart through David McGowan and Craig Wedderburn. McGowan's opener was the best moment of the game as the midfielder unleashed an unstoppable effort from 25 yards after 49 minutes, and Wedderburn doubled the visitors' advantage four minutes later. The red mist then descended as Stuart Malcolm's sending off started a spell of three red cards in 18 minutes. John MacBeth was given his marching orders for the hosts after picking up a second booking, and Wedderburn soon followed him down the tunnel for violent conduct. With 10 minutes to play, Daniel Griffin put through his own net to set up a tense finish but it was too little too late for the hosts.
