Mark and Lewis available for cup tie

‘Loons’ manager Jim Weir has received the good news from Celtic and Hearts respectively that Mark Hill and Lewis Moore can play in this Saturday’s William Hill Scottish cup tie against BSC Glasgow at Station Park.

Special permission is required from the parent clubs before players on temporary transfer can turn out for the borrowing club in the national tournament and this news gives Jim should he so wish the opportunity to field the same starting eleven which comprehensively defeated Dumbarton on Saturday past.

Perhaps not surprisingly considering the lack of game time he has had with the Athies, Hamilton Accies have decided not to allow Forfar to cup tie Ross Cunningham, while Aiden Wilson remains unavailable through injury.

The ‘Loons’ will certainly be treating BSC with every respect, especially in light of their excellent fight back to triumph 3-2 at home to Spartans on Saturday past, a result which lifted them into third in the Lowland League table.
