Livingston vs Brechin preview - Duo missing for Livi



I have a say

Posted Tuesday, February 01, 2011 by PA

Leaders Livingston will be without defensive duo Mick O'Bryne and Cameron MacDonald when they face third-placed Brechin.

O'Bryne is out due to suspension and MacDonald is sidelined after being injured in Saturday's 4-3 success over East Fife.

Young striker Marc McNulty is also out with a knock for a game manager Gary Bollan believes will be a hard fought contest.

Bollan explained: "Only ourselves and Motherwell have defeated Brechin on their own patch and no-one has defeated them away from home so we need to be at our best to get the three points.

"We were a real mixture of highs and lows against East Fife at the weekend and the boys know I want more of the highs and less of the lows."

Brechin could welcome back Kevin Byers for the trip.

Byers is in line for a return from the knock that kept him out of the 2-1 win at Dumbarton at the weekend, however full-back Andrew Cook remains a doubt and midfielder Charlie King is definitely out.

Manager Jim Weir is looking for his men to make amends for a below-par performance when the sides met in September, when Livi won 3-1.

He said: "We let ourselves down badly in that game with Livingston having the game won by half-time. I am looking for our guys to go out and show that they are a much better team than they showed in that game."
