Hay set to be passed fit

Cowdenbeath have climbed back into the Championship race with three wins and two draws in their last five games ahead of the home clash with Dumbarton.

They will be out for revenge against a Dumbarton side that defeated them 2-1 the last time they met.

Goalkeeper David Hay looks set to overcome the illness bug that affected him earlier in the week to play, leaving young midfielder Danny MacKay as the only absentee.

Blue Brazil boss Danny Lennon said: "I can not praise my players highly enough for how they have got us back on track.

"Their work-rate is incredible but Dumbarton will be another tough test as they have very good football players in their squad."

Dumbarton travel to Cowdenbeath after two wins in three games and with recent signing David Winters on the scoresheet twice in midweek against Clyde.

Boss Jim Chapman said: "Our performances have been good recently but the one thing we have missed is turning chances into goals however David did that at Broadwood.

"Hopefully our other new signing Dennis Wyness will start doing likewise as we would then be very well placed going into the crucial part of the season."

Midfielder Ryan McStay is free of suspension to increase Chapman's options for their trip to Fife, but Ross Clark (calf) and Martin McNiff (ankle) are major doubts.
