Albion Rovers vs Dumbarton preview - Lumsden leads from front

Albion Rovers player/assistant manager Todd Lumsden has been passed fit to face Dumbarton after overcoming a calf injury.

The Coatbridge side have won their last two games in their battle to avoid relegation and striker John Gemmell is expected to shake off a back problem.

Lumsden said: "It's really important that having battled to get moving up the way and grabbing six very important points that we don't stop now.

"Dumbarton will be looking to consolidate their play-off place, so it will be a tough task to win, but we have beaten them at our place already this season so we know we can do it."

Dumbarton's on-loan St Mirren winger Mark Lamont hopes to return to the squad.

Lamont returned to full training this week after an Achilles injury and if he makes it, Sons manager Alan Adamson will have a full-strength squad to choose from as Dumbarton look to make up for a 3-1 defeat at Cliftonhill earlier in the season.

Adamson said: "That was a shocker of a performance and we want to banish it from our memories with a win.

"Rovers have won their last two and are battling for survival, so we have plenty of reasons to play well.

"We're in a good position in terms of securing a play-off place, but a win puts us even closer."
