Team News

Forfar will be without Darren Henderson, who is suspended following his sending off in last Tuesday's match against Arbroath. However, media sources suggest that Paul Tosh - who has went over the disciplinary points barrier - will be available.

Ray Stewart says another two players are not fully fit. However, the Loons boss is hopeful that both players can recover in time to take part in tomorrow's match.

Airdrie United are expected to be without defender Scott Wilson. The big centre half is on the road to recovery, but tomorrow's game could come too soon. Alan Gow is expected to return from his lay off, making Wilson the only ansentee Sandy Stewart has to deal with.


Other News

The league's two form sides will meet tomorrow evening. Airdrie are unbeaten in eight, with their last loss coming at home to Arbroath. Forfar have won five of their last eight, coming only a few points behind their opponents in the form tables.

The last four times the sides have met on league duty, the match has ended all square. The last time either side came out on top in the league was when Forfar hit five past The Diamonds last season. However, Airdrie did win at Station Park earlier this season - in the 3rd round of the Bell's Cup.

Tuesday's referee will be Calum Murray. He will be assisted by Frank Cole and Derek Clark.

For the Airdrie United view, pay The Stomp a visit.
