Forfar Athletic vs Ayr Utd. - Forfar face goalkeeper decision ahead of home clash

Forfar must choose between experienced goalkeeper Rab Douglas and on-loan Hearts stopper Scott Gallagher for the visit of table-topping Ayr.

Douglas is back from a thigh injury but must dislodge Gallagher.

Danny Denholm is also available after a knock but injuries have ruled out Michael Dunlop (knee) and Derek Young (calf) while Lewis Allan is a doubt.

Station Park assistant manager Dick Campbell said: "We had lost our way a bit in the league when we had a number of injuries however things are getting better. We will need to be strong as Ayr will be a side who will be chasing promotion all season."

The Honest Men will replace hamstrung defender Peter Murphy with Andy Graham and forward Craig Moore is out with a groin injury.

Manager Ian McCall said: "Andy will come in and it is a great opportunity for him as he has been desperate to be involved since joining from Dumbarton a couple of months ago. We have options to replace Craig and I will need to come up with the right one as Forfar are a strong side and it will be tough to pick up the three points.

"However we want to stay at the top so we will be looking to win."
