MATCH PREVIEW: Forfar Athletic v Linlithgow Rose

Forfar Athletic and Linlithgow Rose will make a second attempt to play their William Hill Scottish Cup fourth round replay at Station Park on Tuesday evening following the unfortunate abandonment of the fixture last midweek.

Since then the ‘Loons’ have disappointingly lost 1-0 at home to Stenhousemuir, the lack of a cutting edge exposed against what was a nevertheless resolute visiting defence, while ‘Rose’ drew 1-1 at home to Irvine Meadow in the Scottish Junior Cup.

Both sides are likely to be along similar lines to last Tuesday , although the homesters will be minus Michael Travis injured against the ‘Warriors’. However they will be able to welcome back Danny Denholm to their ranks after the virus hit forward came on as a second half sub on Saturday.

Andy Ryan is of course ineligible for this tie.

The visitors will be without their suspended trio of Gary Thom, Ruari MacLennan and Chris Gray.

The match on Tuesday night has a 7.45p.m. kick-off.

Admission can be gained by utilising the vouchers distributed a the abandoned fixture or by payment on the night, the charge £10 adults, £5 concessions.

FIFA referee John Beaton who has already had charge of the Hearts v Aberdeen clash in this round will be the man in the middle.

The 1984 Lounge a the ground will be open from 6p.m. to 7.30p.m., but will not re-open after the final whistle.
