Match Preview

Fotheringham in race for fitness Forfar midfielder Martyn Fotheringham is hoping to prove his fitness for the home clash with East Fife. Goalkeeper Paul McKane may also get his first start after manager Dick Campbell was left frustrated by Greg Paterson's own goal that gifted Dumbarton victory last weekend. Campbell, whose side are chasing victory to stay out of the bottom two places, said: "We have to get to safety as soon as possible and the best way to do that is by winning games. "We have looked to have turned the corner many times this season and then fallen back, but I'm hoping that winning this game starts a good run until the end to the season for us." East Fife will be without suspended defender David White as they look to gain revenge for their defeat against Forfar at the end of February. Full-back Andrew Cook is also out after sustaining a hamstring injury as the Fifers look to keep in touch with the play-off places. Manager Gordon Durie said: "We've done well to get back into the play-off chase, but we'll have a real fight on our hands to get the three points at Station Park. "Forfar will be fighting for everything as they won't want to get sucked into relegation trouble. "The last time we were there we never turned up and got what we deserved. I want a different result and performance this time."
