Brechin turn to Latvians
Posted Saturday, April 03, 2010 by PA
Brechin City have added two Latvian youngsters to their squad ahead of the visit of Peterhead.
Left-back Anton Kurakins and midfielder Krisjanis Vallers have arrived from Celtic on loan.
They go straight into manager Jim Duffy's plans, although Willie Dyer remains sidelined with an injury and fellow defender Jon Seeley is missing through work commitments.
Duffy has told his new signings to be prepared for a different style of football and said: "I would imagine at Celtic Under-19's players got a lot of time on the ball and they are the ones pushing forward.
"Playing in the Second Division will be different as there will be less time and the boys will need to get into the tempo and pace of the game quickly."
Peterhead winger Graeme Sharp is available for the trip to Glebe Park.
Sharp has been away in Brazil due to work commitments but has returned and goes straight into the Blue Toon travelling squad.
But goalkeeper Paul Jarvie, defenders Davie Donald and Callum Macdonald and midfielder Nicky Clark all miss out because of injury.
Balmoor boss Neale Cooper said: "A win keeps our interest in the play-offs going and that has to be our aim from this game.
"We are going into the game on fine form with three wins and then a draw in our last four games.
"I am delighted to have Graeme Sharp available again and I would stress that he was never AWOL from the club at anytime."
