Falkirk vs Livingston preview - Dick out for Falkirk

Posted Monday, October 20, 2014 by PA

Falkirk will be without Liam Dick, who has an ankle injury, when they take on Livingston on Tuesday.

Kieran Duffie, Thomas Grant and Lewis Small are back in full training but they will not be considered due to a lack of recent game time.

The Bairns lost 3-0 to Queen of the South on Saturday and are determined to bounce back, with technical director Alex Smith saying: "It is good to have a game so soon afterwards to get going again.

"We have two home games in a row and if we win them we will have moved on greatly from Saturday's disappointment."

Livingston have injury doubts over Keaghan Jacobs and Mark Burchill as they also look to recover from a disappointing weekend when they went down 4-0 to Hibs.

Knee injuries continue to keep Kevin Walker, Simon Mensing and Declan Gallagher out with Brad Donaldson also absent due to an ankle problem.

Manager John McGlynn said: "A big week for us where we play three games has got off to a disappointing start with the Hibs result.

"We have the chance to get off the bottom position by winning this game and then look to get some momentum behind us ahead of facing Queen of the South on Saturday. We intend to take it."
