Watson faces late test for Lions

Posted Saturday, August 28, 2010 by PA

Livingston will be looking to jump over Forfar in the league table with a win at the Braidwood Motor Company Stadium

The Lions are hoping that defender Paul Watson passes a fitness test to be included in Gary Bollan's squad with Cameron MacDonald remaining out because of a facial injury.

Bollan said, "We know Forfar really well after playing against them last season so we are prepared for a really competitive tussle.

"We showed last week against Airdrie that we are willing to dig deep to win games and more of that will be needed against Dick Campbell's side."

Forfar welcome back David Mowat and Jamie Bishop after work commitments kept them out of their midweek Co-operative Insurance Cup tie against Queen of the South.

Only the long term injured pair of Alastair Divine and Darren Brady are unavailable.

Defender Michael Bolochoweckyj can be considered for league duty for the first time after suspension with Campbell determined to put the 4-1 midweek defeat at the hands of the Doonhamers firmly to the back of everyone's minds.

Campbell said: "We tried a couple of things down there that never really worked so it will be back to business as normal at Livingston.

"We had a great record down there in the league last season and our aim has to be to keep that going."
