Montrose boss Steven Tweed expects to be without a host of players for the Scottish Cup clash away to juniors Banks O'Dee in Aberdeen.

The Montrose gaffer says he is unlikely to have any more players at his disposal this weekend, with John Gemmell, Sean Fleming, Fraser Milligan, Gordon Pope and James Collier all still out injured.

Tweed said: "Banks o' Dee go into the tie with nothing to lose.

"It is on their ground and it will be a very tough game for us. We will have to put on a performance if we are to get anything. We must turn up and give 100%."

Banks O'Dee manager Garry Welsh is expecting a difficult game as his side takes on an opponent from the SFL for the first time ever.

He said: "It is a historic match for us. We have never faced a team from the SFL never mind beaten one. It is a massive challenge but we are looking forward to it.

"We need to be switched on for the entire match to have a chance. This is a no-lose situation for us. There are not many who expect us to win.

"We have had them (Montrose) watched and the reports I have received say they are a far better side than their league position suggests. There is no way they will finish bottom of the Third Division. We will have a go but it will take a lot of things to go our way to win."
