Brechin City vs Dunfermline - Brechin hope to have defender Paul McLean available

Bottom-of-the-table Brechin hope to have defender Paul McLean available for the visit of Dunfermline after recovering from a hamstring problem.

Darren McCormack, however, is still not available following a groin injury, while on-loan Lewis Spence is not eligible.

Manager Darren Dods said: "We go into this game having scored a last-minute equaliser against Cowdenbeath. It was a game where we missed a lot of chances however it felt like we had won and it has been a great boost to everyone.

"We have gone five games unbeaten at home now and whilst Dunfermline will be a tough test we will look to make that six."

Dunfermline, top of the table, had hoped to include Lewis Martin after illness in their squad but a training ground knock has made him very doubtful.

Callum Fordyce and Ryan Williamson are not yet able to return following broken legs.

Boss Allan Johnston said: "Brechin are fighting for their lives and we have to ensure that we go about everything in the correct manner. They are a side who have got better the longer the season has gone on and a side that possesses a strong goal threat.

"We have got ourselves into a terrific position, however nothing has been achieved and we simply need to keep winning."
