East Fife vs Dumbarton preview - Hislop out for Fifers



I have a say

Posted Tuesday, February 15, 2011 by PA

East Fife striker Steven Hislop will join defender Stevie Campbell on the sidelines for the crunch clash with Dumbarton.

Hislop is the latest injury concern for John Robertson, although recent loan signing Matthew Park - a defender from Hearts - is in line for a start after making his debut as a substitute at the weekend.

Robertson has asked for more of the same from his men after they picked up three points on Saturday at struggling Stenhousemuir.

He said: "Now that we`ve moved off the bottom the plan is to keep moving away from there and a win over Dumbarton achieves that.

"There is also the added advantage that Peterhead and Stenhousemuir are playing each other so something has to give up there, so it could turn into a really good night for us."

Andy Geggan returns after suspension to bolster a Dumbarton midfield that is still missing the injured pair of Craig McLeish and Alan Cook.

Sons boss Alan Adamson is looking to pick his players up after they lost an injury-time goal to Airdrie at the weekend that denied them a third successive win.

East Fife claimed a 6-0 win on their last visit to New Bayview, and Adamson said: "The boys put a lot into the game on Saturday and it looked like we were heading to 22 points and a wee gap over some teams, until we lost that late goal.

"Hopefully our youngsters have learnt from it."
