Ayr United vs Arbroath – Match Preview
Ladbrokes Championship – Game 15 – Season 2019 / 2020
Saturday 30th November 2019, Somerset Park, Ayr, 3.00pm kick off
The Lichties are back on the road tomorrow as we travel down to Somerset Park to take on Mark Kerr’s Ayr United.
Mark Kerr was appointed Manager of Ayr United on the 22nd of October taking over from interim Manager Sandy Stewart.
Ayr United haven’t played a competitive match since Saturday 9th November when they were defeated 3-1 away to Queen of the South.
Striker Luke McCowan misses out for Ayr United as he starts a two-match suspension, whilst Steven Bell and Mark Kerr should return from injury, Andy Murdoch, Kris Doolan and Jamie Adams remain doubts.
Arbroath Manager Dick Campbell has a headache selection in whether to stick with his side that defeated Auchinleck Talbot on Wednesday night or make changes.
This game will come too quickly for Jason Thomson who still remains sidelined.
It’s another huge game for the Lichties with only 4 points separating ourselves and Ayr United, although Ayr United do have a game in hand.
We hope you will be there to cheer us on!
