Brechin City vs Peterhead - Jonathan Tiffoney completes ban to return to Brechin's squad

Posted Friday, April 15, 2016 by PA

Brechin have Jonathan Tiffoney available to face beaten Petrofac Cup finalists Peterhead at Glebe Park after a ban.

Player-manager Darren Dods could be pressed into service having recovered from a thigh injury as Jessam Sukar is a doubt.

Dods said: "Last weekend was not a good one for us in terms of results as Forfar and Stenhousemuir picked up points whilst we were losing to Cowdenbeath.

"However, I cannot criticise the players as we actually played well. We now need to defeat a strong Peterhead and make sure that we are still in the fight come the final day of the season when we host Forfar at our place."

Peterhead have paid the price for their exertions in last Sunday's Petrofac Training Cup final against Rangers, with groin injuries ruling out Ally Gilchrist, Ryan Strachan and Rory McAllister, while Simon Ferry (knee) is also absent.

Scott Ross is also a major doubt, and manager Jim McInally said: "We will have a strong starting XI but only one or two substitutes with any experience.

"It is not ideal as I am looking to get some momentum behind us for promotion after our involvement in the Petrofac.

"Brechin are under pressure but they will be very tough opponents as they have to come out and look to win."
