Donaldson back to boost Blue Toon

Peterhead defender Reece Donaldson is included in manager Jim McInally's squad for the visit of Brechin.

Dean Cowie returns after knee surgery and Scott Ross is also available after family commitments saw him miss out on the 3-2 win at Ayr last Saturday. However, Ryan McCann and Fraser McLaren have not been considered due to a lack of match practice.

McInally said: "Rory McAllister grabbed a hat-trick last week and he will hopefully enjoy a good afternoon against his former club as well. It was a good win at Ayr and we want to build on it."

Brechin's on-loan Rangers midfielder Kyle McAusland could face the Blue Toon after having a cast removed from a hand injury.

The Glebe Park side will have Colin Hamilton available again after a ban while Alan Trouten and Craig Molloy look set to be on the bench again as they continue their recovery from injury. However, there was bad news for manager Ray McKinnon this week when Callum Tapping was ruled out for the season with a knee injury.

McKinnon said: "We are getting stronger as we welcome players back from injury and that bodes well. We had a great game with Forfar last week and were unfortunate not to take the three points."
