Dumbarton's Mark Canning and Michael Moore should return, giving boss Jim Chapman more options than previously available this season for the clash with Cowdenbeath.

He said: "I'll be adding Mark and Michael to the squad, while Alan Gourlay is also fit and will be in the mix.

"But Raymond Logan and Iain Chisholm are out and we're still waiting on Michael Dunlop, although he's getting closer to full fitness.

"It will be a tough game tomorrow - Cowdenbeath are well organised and they won't be coming to just give us the three points.

"We'll have to work hard to get what we need and, in front of what should be a big crowd, I can assure fans that's what we'll be doing.''

Cowdenbeath skipper Mark Baxter is back from suspension.

Also returning to action will be central defender Joe Mbu and striker Paul McQuade, while Baxter's return may allow manager Danny Lennon to use Greg Ross further forward.

Lennon said: "It will be good to get these lads back in the picture, as it will boost the competition for places.

"We may have to make a change or two because the balance of our back four just did not look right against Berwick last Saturday and we had to change things midway through the second-half.''
