COWDENBEATH close their Betfred Cup programme tonight at Gayfield against Arbroath and are to be missing several regulars.

Expected to be out are midfielders Dean Brett and Chris Turner and striker Kris Renton. Also doubts are defenders James Creaney and Shaun Rutherford.

However, manager Liam Fox wants to end with a win and they will face an Arbroath team without a couple of players out through suspension.

He said: "It has been a tough competition facing three games against full-time opponents in a week but we want to end with a win.

"We will have to look to bring in one or two younger players and give them a chance to show what they can do."
