As he looked towards the Forfar fixture, Arbroath No 2 Ian Campbell said: “We have work to do but the

Ian Campbell Forfar match has the makings of a great game. “We were playing well up to the Albion Rovers fixture but we dropped our standards t hen. That’s something we are keen to rectify on Saturday.”
