Match Preview
Nicol to return for Montrose Montrose have Daryl Nicol available after suspension for the visit of Annan. Hugh Davidson is a doubt and player boss Steven Tweed has ruled himself out with a hamstring problem. Long term injury victim Terry Masson also remains on the sidelines The Links Park side achieved their first win of the season last Saturday when they beat Arbroath 3-0 and Tweed wants to build on that result. "We have to use last week's win as a platform to get more points on board as it would be great for everyone here if we went into the break with two wins in a row," he said. "I am sure Harry Cairney will want to end the opening month unbeaten so it will be a tough game." Annan are looking to keep their unbeaten start to the league going. Midfielder Chris Jardine is fully fit and pushing for a starting place, but Bryan Gilfillan and Steven Sloan are doubts after missing training through injury. Goalkeeper Greg Kelly's work commitments are still keeping him away from playing and striker Graeme Bell remains out following groin surgery. Manager Harry Cairney recognises that their opponents will be on a high after their fine win over Arbroath. He said: "It will be tough as Montrose will take confidence from that result and performance. They will be going all out to get another three points to really get their season going but we want our second away win of the season."
