Match Preview

Forfar without Tulloch Forfar are without defender Stephen Tulloch for the visit of Stenhousemuir. The Loons' options reduced further as Alistair Divine left the club by mutual consent. Forfar may well be boosted by a visit from manager Dick Campbell to Station Park as he recovers from a recent operation in his fight against cancer. Stand-in boss Ian Campbell said: "Hopefully my brother Dick will be here to watch the game. "He is not allowed back into the dug-out yet but I have told the players to bring ear muffs anyway. "We have been inconsistent recently and need to get back to winning ways in order that we get a play-off place secured." Second-bottom Stenhousemuir have added Brian Gilmour to their squad. The former Rangers, Clyde and Queen of the South midfielder has joined until the end of the season after a successful three-game trial period. Iain Thomson is suspended following his midweek sending off. Warriors manager David Irons is giving the injured pair of Scott Fusco and Scott Dalziel until the last minute to prove their fitness. Irons said: "Both Scott`s are important players for us and it would be great to have them available for this one. "The players have shown tremendous spirit recently and we have picked up points on the back of that. "It would be great if that spirit got us three more points at Forfar.

Match Report

Anderson saves Sten`s 10 A Grant Anderson goal 12 minutes from time rescued a point for 10-man Stenhousemuir in a 1-1 draw away at Forfar. The home side went in front after 16 minutes when striker Ryan Dow scored from close range. The visitors were forced into a change after losing goalkeeper Alistair Brown to injury after 26 minutes. Forfar nearly doubled their lead 10 minutes after the restart, but Greg Ross saw his header saved. The home side could not add to their total but probably thought the game was safe after Mike Devlin was dismissed on the hour mark for using foul and abusive language. But struggling Stenhousemuir defied the odds and gave their survival hopes a boost after 78 minutes when Anderson fired in from 12 yards.
