Arbroath boss Dick Campbell is facing a race against time to have an experienced goalie on the bench for today’s game against Clyde at Gayfield.
First-choice stopper Ricky Gomes is fit and available but Cammy Gill has been recalled by parent club Dunfermline from his loan spell.
However, Ricky Little will be in the squad after the Red Lichties successfully appealed against the red card he received during last weekend’s draw at Elgin with Campbell himself successfully pleading his case.
Now, the Gayfield gaffer is looking for his side to secure another good result against Clyde and hopefully increase the pressure on league leaders Forfar.
The veteran manager said: “Going into the Clyde game, I am very happy to have Ricky available.
“It was never a red card against Elgin and I am delighted we won our appeal.
“Thankfully, being reduced to 10 men didn’t cost us a point.
“We extended our great unbeaten away run to 10 games which I am told is a new club record and the lads deserve a lot for credit for that.
“While we will have Ricky available, I am trying to find another keeper as Dunfermline have recalled Cammy from his loan spell.
“Ricky Gomes is fit to take his place between the sticks against Clyde but we need experienced back-up on the bench for what is an important game for us.
“We will definitely be going along the same lines as the side that did so well at Elgin and David Gold also comes into contention.
“Forfar made a great start to the season but we have been pulling them back.
“I always say championships are not won in September but in May so it should be an exciting end to the season.”
