Peterhead see numbers swelled

Peterhead could be at full strength against Forfar as Ross Smith and Ryan McCann are back in training after knocks and David Cox is expected to return following illness.

Manager Jim McInally is looking for his side to shock a promotion-chasing side for the second week running after defeating Morton last weekend.

He said: "We played really well to win down at Greenock and we need to play like that again to defeat Forfar.

"They have been strong all season and for 45 minutes in our first game against them they were the best side that we have faced. It is not luck they are near the top."

Forfar boss Dick Campbell is spoilt for choice as only midfielder Derek Young is unavailable due to a knee injury.

Campbell said: "I have a selection headache of the right kind as Omar Kader, Chris Templeman and Gavin Malin all did really well when they came on as substitutes last weekend and merit consideration for a starting place.

"We are now at the halfway stage of the season and we want to be as close to the top as we can be so defeating Peterhead is really important.

"They are a good side who had a good win last weekend so it will not be easy."
