Forfar v Arbroath - Campbell junior back for Forfar

Posted Sunday, May 16, 2010 by PA

Forfar boss Dick Campbell welcomes back son Ross to his starting line up for the Irn-Bru Scottish League Championship Second Division play-off final second leg with Arbroath.

Ross Campbell has overcome a rib injury but brother Iain drops out because of suspension.

Midfielder Martyn Fotheringham is available after injury.

Campbell said: "The game is finely poised, there will be a big crowd and everyone here is looking forward to it. With the scoreline blank, it is a one-off so we will be treating it the same as the Scottish Cup Final.

"Arbroath should still be considered the best bet as they are coming here on the back of a seven game unbeaten run."

Arbroath manager Jim Weir will have to reorganise his defence.

On-loan Hibernian youngster Ewan Moyes is suspended with Phil McGuire expected to come in as a replacement.

The SFA have allowed youngster Callum Booth to play despite being included in Billy Stark's under-19 group that are competing in Croatia next week much to Weir's relief.

Defenders Gerry McLauchlan and Alan Rattray are expected to be available with Jamie Redman along with Steven Doris needing late fitness tests after aggravating injuries.

Weir knows that he will have to blunt the attacking threat of Forfar from set-pieces saying: "Every set piece puts pressure on our defence and whilst we stood up to it well on Wednesday we need to be ready for it again on Sunday."
