Arbroath vs Stenhousemuir – Match Preview
Match Day 15 – Ladbrokes League One – Season 2018 / 2019
Saturday 1st December 2018, Gayfield Park, Arbroath, 3.00pm kick off
We welcome Stenhousemuir to Gayfield tomorrow for our 15th game of the 2018 / 2019 season.
We also welcome new Stenhousemuir Manager Colin McMenamin who this week was named Manager at Ochilview.
Colin who has been playing for the Warriors this season has been in charge since the departure of Brown Ferguson earlier in November.
A fantastic 4-2 win over Championship side Falkirk in the Scottish Cup last weekend, which many Stenhousemuir supporters are claiming is their best result in years has raised the hopes of both the players and supporters.
Arbroath will be hoping that Gavin Swankie will be fit enough to feature and it is hoped striker Callum Smith will soon be able to be called upon after breaking his wrist in October down at Stranraer.
Our match at Ochilview earlier in the season was one of the toughest matches we have had this season and we know with the announcement of Colin as Manager the Stenhousemuir players will be determined to get a result for him.
It will be another extremely tough match so we will need the full support of the home crowd.
