Arbroath vs Cove Rangers – Match Preview
Cinch Scottish Championship – Game 15 – Season 2022/2023
Saturday 12th November, Gayfield Park, Arbroath – 3.00pm kick off
Arbroath welcome Jim McIntrye’s Cove Rangers for our first competitive home league meeting between the two sides.
Two goals from Connor Scully were the difference when the two sides met in October. The midfielder is the second highest scorer in the Championship with 7 goals.
Kyle McClelland misses out for Cove, but Mitch Megginson is available for selection with his suspension not effective until next weekend.
Arbroath will welcome Florent Hoti into the squad and it is hoped that Captain Thomas O’Brien and Scott Bitsindou will return, with Scott Stewart expected to be out for another few games.
With only 5 points separating the two sides and Hamilton having suffered defeat to Ayr United on Friday night, both sides will be hoping for 3 points.
The support this season has been fantastic and we hope that the atmosphere will be the same again today.
