Match Preview
No new faces for Montrose Montrose manager Steven Tweed has failed to add to his squad ahead of the Angus derby against Arbroath. Tweed had been desperate to bring a new striker on board but has had no luck so far. The player-boss is missing through injury this weekend along with midfielder Terry Masson. Youngster Daryl Nicol is also unavailable as he serves a suspension following his red card at East Stirling last weekend. Tweed said: "This is a big occasion for everyone with fans, officials and players all getting more excited as the week goes on. "It would be a great game for us to pick up three points and get our league season moving." Arbroath defender Alan Rattray has been ruled out of the game through injury. Midfielder Steven Doris is also missing, while the experienced duo of Kieran McAnespie and Jim Hamilton are both rated as doubts by player/manager Paul Sheerin. The Red Lichties boss said: "When we lost to Annan last weekend we had lots of possession but we never really came close to threatening them. We need to put that right against Montrose." Sheerin added: "Everyone at the club has been talking about this game all week so it is fair to say that the excitement level is building."
