Brechin vs East Fife preview - Weir delays team selection

Brechin boss Jim Weir will finalise his side to face East Fife as soon as he receives an update on the health of Ewan Moyes and Andy Jackson.

The pair have been struggling with illness and will be given until the last minute to prove their fitness.

Derek Carcary should return after the fracture of a bone in his foot healed, but Paul McLean and Alan Trouten are out and Gerry McLaughlan and Jonny Brown are doubts.

Weir is looking for his side to bounce back from a disappointing 3-1 defeat against Stenhousemuir last weekend.

He said: "We played really well in that game and paid a heavy price for not taking our chances. If we get a similar level of performance and a bit more luck in front of goal we will do well against East Fife."

East Fife boss Gordon Durie will not be at his side's game following his recent illness so assistant Gordon Chisholm takes control.

The Fifers will be without the injured Craig Johnstone and Collin Samuel who continues to be unavailable due to a visa issue.

But Chisholm will be able to include David White and Ross Brown who are both available after bans, with the former Queen of the South manager saying: "It will be a really hard game against a side that have a lot of experienced players.

"We showed resilience last weekend to get a draw with Queen of the South and we could have won it. A similar performance to that one is what we are after at Glebe Park."
