Forfar defender’s loan won’t last through the play-offs

Forfar boss Dick Campbell has been left cursing the loan rules that will stop his son Iain helping the Loons through to the end of the season.

The 29-year-old has been on loan from Cowdenbeath since January on a short term loan deal that was extended to a 93-day loan.

However he cannot play in the scheduled last two games or the play-offs should Forfar reach them as the loan period will have expired.

Manager Campbell said: “The only way we could get Iain for a second time after the January transfer window closed was on a 93-day loan which runs out at a crucial time.

“There was no way to extend it and we now have a scenario where we will miss a key player and Iain could well not be involved at Cowdenbeath.

“There should be some way to extend deals until the end of the season in these circumstances.”
