Violet look to bounce back in clash with leaders Harp

Violet boss Ralph Henderson is looking for a reaction after last week’s seven-goal trouncing by Bo’ness when the Dundee side take on league leaders Lochee Harp in the North League today.

Henderson is forced into changes with Kit Bremner, Gary Thain and Gavin Thomson all unavailable, while Ross McLeary is injured.

Harp will be without James Cochrane and Josh Perera but Graham Allan returns from suspension.

It would be a major surprise if North End don’t pick up three points at home to bottom side Forfar Albion.

Dokens boss Ross Lunan has a depleted squad to choose from, with Ross Sievewright, Michael Stewart, Craig Scrimgeour and Ryan Shaw all out injured.

Arbroath Vics host East Craigie and are without Matt Keogh and Lee Jones due to work commitments, while Barry Gourlay is suspended.

The Shipbuilders are without the suspended Liam McArtney.

Luncarty will be missing Darren Kelly, Sean Burton and Keiran Donald as they play host to Perthshire rivals Scone Thistle.

Thistle include new signings Fraser Morrison and Max Avolio.

Newburgh could blood two more new signings, Ross Cook and Stuart Nairn, when Coupar Angus call at East Shore Park. Jack Tosh is added to the Foxhall Park squad.

Coupar Angus have placed striker Chris Liversedge on the transfer list at his request. All inquiries to chairman Billy McGregor on 07790 770692.

Lochore Welfare have the same squad that demolished Kirkcaldy YM last week for the visit of Blairgowrie, who are without Robbie Hood, Greg McDonald, Keir Riley and Gordon Pirie.

Brechin Vics are at home to Kinnoull who are missing the injured Scott Sutherland.
