Albion Rovers FC vs Arbroath preview - Werndly missing for Albion

Albion will continue their battle against relegation against Arbroath without suspended striker Jack Werndly, following his dismissal in the 2-1 victory at East Fife last weekend.

Player-coach Danny Ferry is also missing through a neck injury, and Coatbridge boss Paul Martin said: "Our home record this season has been good and we have the chance to make it even better by seeing off Arbroath.

"They were promoted with us last season and have had a fantastic campaign, although they have slipped behind Cowdenbeath recently. We have to guard against them going all out to win this game in case of a Cowdenbeath slip-up.

"We can play without any pressure as no-one was expecting us to still be fighting at this stage."

Arbroath will look to keep the pressure on league leaders Cowdenbeath with victory and they have been boosted by the return of Keith Gibson from suspension.

The Gayfield side will give Kieran McAnespie and Collin Samuel lunchtime fitness tests to see if they can feature, but striker Jordan Elfverson remains out with a back problem.

Manager Paul Sheerin said: "I expect Cowdenbeath to go on and win the league now but we have to win this game. The thought of not winning and walking off the pitch and possibly hearing they have lost as well is not a good one.

"Albion Rovers are on a great run just now and this will be a real test for us as they will be contesting everything."
