DUMBARTON gaffer Gerry McCabe has had his plans for the Irn-Bru Division Three opener against Elgin disrupted by a triple injury blow.

McCabe revealed: "We will be without Chris Gentile, Brian McPhee and Craig Brittain and it is frustrating injuries are already causing problems.

"But if we want to win promotion this term and achieve our targets, we need to be winning at home and that is a habit I want us to start on day one against Elgin."

Meanwhile, Albion Rovers boss John McCormack will be without suspended duo Robert Walker and Darren McGeouch for the trip to Montrose.

Cowboy said: "We know Montrose have strengthened considerably but three points is what it's all about for us."
