Fusco boost for Brechin

Posted Tuesday, March 01, 2011 by PA

Brechin's Scott Fusco is expected to play against Dumbarton despite being carried off at the weekend with a head knock.

That would leave long-term injury victim Charlie King as manager Jim Weir`s only absentee.

Weir wants Glebe Park to become a fortress, starting against the Sons, as 10 of Brechin's remaining 15 games are at home.

He said: "What we do at home between now and the end of the season will determine how successful a season we have.

"Dumbarton have been playing well and are a good team going forward. However, if we bounce back and play like we can we will do well."

Weir added: "We are hopeful that Scott will be there as he has been playing well and we missed him when he went off at the weekend."

Dumbarton will again be without midfield pair Craig McLeish and Alan Cook for the trip as the Sons set out to show their 2-1 defeat to Forfar was only a temporary blip.

Interim manager Alan Adamson said: "We had been on a great run of six games without a defeat and played well at Station Park but came away with nothing.

"It`s a case of dusting ourselves down and getting on with things as despite our fine run nothing has been achieved as yet in terms of reaching our goal of staying in our division.

"Brechin have won well at our place twice this season and it would be good to come away from Glebe Park moving forward again."
