Arbroath vs Brechin City – Match Preview
Match Day 20 – Ladbrokes League 1 – Season 2018 / 2019
Saturday 5th January 2019, Gayfield Park, Arbroath – 3.00pm kick off
The Lichties return to Gayfield today for the first game of 2019!
The last two fixtures have been very tough and we know that the visit of Barry Smith’s Brechin City will be another tough home fixture.
Brechin City have added experienced midfielder Scott Robertson in the transfer window and he is likely to feature for City today.
Arbroath Manager serves the last ban of his dug out suspension and will return to the touchline next week. He is working hard on bringing new players in to help boost the squad.
Brechin City Team News
“New signing Scott Robertson comes into immediate contention for a starting place, with the only definite absentees being Ryan McGeever, Callum Tapping and Dene Shields.”
Arbroath Team News
Striker Callum Booth has been recalled by Dunfermline Athletic but Striker Kane Hester’s loan with Montrose Roselea has come to an end and he should be in today’s squad. Everyone else is fit and ready for today’s match.
It will be another extremely tough match so we will need the full support of the home crowd.
