New name on trophy after Tannadice final

The big game in Tayside this weekend is tomorrow at Tannadice as Carnoustie Panmure take on North League side Dundee East Craigie in the GA Engineering Cup final.

Both sides tasted defeat in midweek but fielded weakened teams having one eye on the final.

Both expect to be near full strength having allowed a few niggles extra-time to heal.

Whoever lifts the cup tomorrow will be a new name on the trophy with neither side having won it before.

A large crowd is expected with the teams being well supported by their communities. Kick-off at Tannadice is 1pm.

Dundonald Bluebell had to come from behind to defeat Carnoustie in midweek and go in to this weekend’s East of Scotland Cup quarter-final against Newtongrange Star with several selection issues.

Mark Forbes and Colin Wilson are injured while Ross Drummond is unavailable and Archie Campbell and Craig Wedderburn are suspended, meaning Bluebell are down to the bare bones for the last chance of silverware this season.

His squad will have at least three trialists but he is able to welcome back Robbie George and Dale Robertson.

Lochee United left it late to take a point from their midweek visit to Broughty Athletic and George Shields knows his side will have to give much more as it visits Linlithgow Rose.

Rose still hold faint hopes of winning the Super League but would need a major slip-up by Bonnyrigg for that to happen.

Lochee expect to have the same squad available as travelled on Wednesday.

Jeanfield Swifts manager Ross Gunnion will have to change his back four for the trip to Penicuik with Chris Anton and Scott Mollison out injured. Otherwise the Perth side will have the same squad which beat Forfar West End 6-0 over a week ago.
