A combination of injury, illness, isolation and international duty has robbed Jack Ross of ELEVEN first team players.
With that in mind, could this be the makeshift starting line-up that takes to the pitch at Station Park this evening?

2. Melker Hallberg
The Swedish midfielder was moved to right-back for the second half of the weekend win over Cove and will likely start there against Forfar with Jack Ross down to the bare bones in defence. Photo: Mark Scates - SNS Group
3. David Gray
The right-back was used as an auxiliary centre-half against Cove and that will almost certainly be the case again in a makeshift defence. Photo: Mark Scates - SNS Group
4. Darren McGregor
