Match Preview
Keenan missing for Ayr Defender Dean Keenan is again absent as Ayr prepare for their First Division play-off semi-final second leg at home to Forfar. The only injury doubt manager Brian Reid has to contend with is full-back Jonathan Tiffoney. Reid said: "Jonathan was hurt in a tackle on Wednesday night and was struggling afterwards but he has improved and will be on the bench at least in this game." The Honest Men are looking to ensure the 4-1 lead they built up in the first leg is more than sufficient to see them through. Reid insists the tie is not over and said: "I read they are sending down their youth players and the tie was over but they are not fooling me one bit. "They will come down here with a full squad and give it a real go." Forfar are without on-loan goalkeeper Scott Gallacher (thigh) and defender David Mowat (unavailable). Winger Ryan Dow is a doubt as well with assistant manager Ian Campbell determined his side will not be hoisting a white flag just yet. He said: "Ayr were much better than us on the night and built up a handsome lead. "It will take some doing for us to progress now as we need to win 3-0 just to force extra time but our manager Dick Campbell will have everyone ready to give it a real go, make no mistake about that."
