GARY Bollan has made his first signing as Cowdenbeath manager after the arrival of Blair Malcolm on loan from Ross County.

The Premiership youngster has joined the club on an emergency one-month loan as Bollan bolsters his squad ahead of Saturday's clash with Annan Athletic.

While naturally a left-back, he can also operate on the left-side of midfield.

The 20-year-old was ever-present as County won the SPFL Development League last season.

His performances were rewarded with a professional contract at the start of the 2017/18 campaign.
