Watson returns to Morecambe ranks

Managerless Montrose welcome back Paul Watson after a ban when they host an Annan side that are assured of a play-off spot.


Striker Callum Ferguson remains out with a knee injury with caretaker boss George Shields looking for improvement after last weekend's 2-0 defeat from Clyde.


Shields, who has applied for the vacant managerial position, said: "Last weekend we had plenty of the ball but didn't create enough chances. Annan are a good side but I want us to be much more dangerous in possession against them.


"We want to finish the season strongly and beating Annan would be a good start to that."


Annan, who look set to finish in second place, have Peter Watson and Andrew Mitchell suspended, however Kenny MacKay has made a quicker than expected recovery from a hamstring injury and he could feature.


Steven Black and Dan Orsi are injury doubts with manager Jim Chapman telling his players to up their standards.


Chapman said: "We need to get back to winning ways as we have let our standards slip and not won in our last two games.


"We need to get back to playing to as high a standard as possible as you cannot just turn up for the play-offs and switch yourself back on."
