Ayr Utd. vs Brechin City preview - Quartet give Ayr big lift
Posted Friday, August 14, 2015 by PA
Ayr will be boosted by the return of four players from suspension when they meet Brechin.
Nicky Devlin, Gerry McLauchlan, Craig Moore and Andrew Muir are all available after bans and manager Ian McCall hopes they can lift his side after a 3-0 defeat to Albion last weekend.
McCall, whose side knocked the Glebe Park men out of the Scottish League Cup with a 2-0 success two weeks ago, said: "It was a disappointing performance and fair play to Albion Rovers as their game-plan worked well.
"We now look for a win over Brechin that would make it three wins from four games. That is a decent start to any season."
Brechin's new player-manager Darren Dods returns after suspension, while both Jonathan Tiffoney and Gary Fusco are available after injury.
Paul McLean misses out with a hip injury and Dene Shields is still absent with a foot problem.
Dods said: "I have not read too much into Ayr's result last weekend as they had a few players missing.
"I am more interested in ensuring that we put in a better performance than the one we did against Dunfermline where the game was over by half-time.
"Going back to Ayr so soon will allow me to see what progress we are making."
