Dumbarton vs Falkirk preview - Kirkpatrick out for Sons
Posted Friday, December 19, 2014 by PA
Dumbarton have ruled out Jordan Kirkpatrick for the visit of Falkirk due to a hip problem.
There could be further absentees for the Sons as both Kieran MacDonald and Mark Gilhaney are facing fitness tests.
Manager Ian Murray said: "Both teams go into this game in good form so it should be a good game. We drew with Falkirk earlier in the season, however we would much prefer a win this time out.
"We want to be a top-half side and winning this game pulls us closer to that objective."
Falkirk are without only Owain Tudur-Jones as they look for a fourth straight Championship win.
Technical director Alex Smith said: "We will be looking to win and build on the momentum our recent run has generated. It will be hard as Dumbarton are on a good run themselves, however we can go there and win.
"We have had to show different attributes to defeat Alloa, Hibs and Livingston but the one consistent thing to our game has been hard work. If we continue to work hard and use the confidence in the ranks then I am sure we will get a nice Christmas present of three more points."
