Alloa Athletic vs Livingston preview - Ferguson added to Alloa squad
Posted Friday, March 27, 2015 by PA
Alloa have added defender David Ferguson on loan from Motherwell ahead of the dress rehearsal for next Sunday's Petrofac Training Cup final against visitors Livingston.
The Wasps will be without the injured Jason Marr (hamstring), Stephen Simmons (back) and David Weatherston (ankle), with Greig Spence a doubt following an eye injury.
Stand in boss Paddy Connolly said: "We are a bit short numbers wise so I am delighted to get David in. This game is huge in our season and winning it would be terrific.
"If we can play like we did against Rangers and Raith Rovers recently and be a bit tighter in defence we have a real chance."
Livingston could give a second debut to Rory Boulding after he completed his first full week's training since rejoining the Lions.
Missing is defender Brad Donaldson, who has an ankle injury, with manager Mark Burchill looking for his men to grab the win that will put pressure on their hosts.
Burchill said: "The gap at the moment is six points, however if we can win this game then we move to within one game of climbing above Alloa. Then some pressure will mount.
"I am not even thinking about the Petrofac Training Cup Final next weekend as this game is cup final all on its own."
