Livingston vs Forfar preview - Winters warms up Livi attack

Posted Saturday, January 22, 2011 by PA

Livingston welcome back striker Robbie Winters from suspension against Forfar.

Winters is available but may not walk straight back into the starting XI as recent signing Kenny Deuchar scored a hat-trick on his debut at East Fife in midweek.

Defender Michael O'Byrne is banned, however Cameron MacDonald can take his place after overcoming the hamstring injury that his troubled him since Boxing Day.

Young forward Marc McNulty remains out with an ankle knock with Livi boss Gary Bollan determined to keep his side at the top of the table.

Bollan said: "We went top following our win at East Fife and a win over a team we know well from our Third Division stay in Forfar will keep us there and that has to be the aim."

Forfar add new boy Greg Ross to their squad as they look to play their first game in nine weeks.

Ross is in the squad but midfielder Kevin Fotheringham has joined junior side St Andrews on loan.

The lack of activity has brought one piece of good news for the Station Park side with manager Dick Campbell reporting a fully-fit side.

He said: "Everyone is fully fit now and over any niggling injuries that they had, however we are getting desperate for a game.

"We are facing an incredibly busy time over the coming months but we will just have to get on with it.

"Livingston is a team we know well from their time in the Third Division and the games between us are usually tight but we beat them last time out and hopefully we can do so again."
