Mccunnie in charge at Fed

Broughty manager Jim Finlayson resigned from his position at Whitton Park after last week’s defeat by Dundonald Bluebell and Jamie Mccunnie is expected to take charge of the side for the Super League trip to Broxburn.

A positive for Mccunnie is that he has no fresh injury concerns for the game and he expects to have the same squad that were on duty last weekend. Kick-off at Albyn Park is at 2.30pm.

In addition, striker Callum Smith has been placed on the transfer list. However, Stevie Kay has added midfielder Kyle Bell on a development loan from Raith Rovers and he comes straight into the squad for the visit of Newtongrange Star to Moorside Park.
