Brechin v Alloa: McLean boost for Brechin
Posted Saturday, August 28, 2010 by PA
Brechin defender Paul McLean is available to face Alloa.
McLean's suspension for his dismissal against Dundee in midweek is restricted to the next round of the Co-operative Insurance Cup.
Full-back Callum Booth should be fit enough to be considered for a starting place and midfielder Gary Fusco is also available, to leave injured summer signing Jamie Redman as the only absentee for the Glebe Park men.
Manager Jim Weir said: "I am hoping my players have something left for the Alloa game. They are a very good side who will cause us problems if we do not go about our business properly."
Alloa manager Allan Maitland will be without striker Stuart Noble, winger Dougie Wilson and young midfielder Jason Thomson for their trip to Glebe Park.
Alloa manager Allan Maitland will be without three players for the trip to Brechin.
Striker Stuart Noble, winger Dougie Wilson and young midfielder Jason Thomson will all be missing at Glebe Park.
Maitland does not believe that his side have any advantage despite Brechin going toe to toe with Dundee for two hours in midweek.
He said: "This will be a really hard game and we have no advantage at all in terms of Brechin being heavy-legged. We were chasing about after Aberdeen with 10 players for the vast majority of our game."
"Our league campaign has opened up well and our games with Brechin are usually exciting affairs and I can see no reason why this one would be any different despite both our exertions in midweek."
