Albion Rovers FC vs Ayr Utd. - Albion have fully-fit squad for clash with Ayr

Posted Saturday, January 23, 2016 by PA

Albion Rovers welcome Kyle Turnbull and Andrew Barrowman back after knocks to give player/ manager Darren Young a full squad to choose from for the visit of Ayr United.

The Coatbridge men have stayed in fourth place despite not playing for three weeks.

Young said: "It is good that we have held onto our play-off place. However, it has been a frustrating period as well. We wanted to get playing again straight away after losing to Airdrie on January 2 as we deserved to win that game.

"We defeated Ayr 3-0 in the first game of the league season and it would be terrific to repeat that success."

The Honest Men have signed Ryan Stevenson, who was on loan from Partick Thistle, on a permanent basis but are without at least four others.

Gerry McLauchlan is suspended and injuries have ruled out Paddy Boyle (knee), Ross Docherty (ankle) and Jamie Adams (thigh).

There could be further absentees as Brian Gilmour and Robbie Crawford are both carrying knocks but Nicky Devlin and Craig Moore are available.

Manager Ian McCall said: "We are very stretched. However, there is no point in moaning about it. We need to get on with things especially as we know what Albion Rovers will do if we are not fully up for the game."
