With only Steven Rennie suffering from injury, Mr McGlashan has almost a full squad to take to Dumbarton tomorrow.



He explained: "We will take the positives, not the negatives from the past few games and look to improve.

"The players know if they play to their potential they can beat Dumbarton but, if mistakes are made we will struggle. They also know that winning the game will set us up perfectly for the period of seven games in quick succession."

Asked about his opponents Mr McGlashan responded: "Dumbarton's confidence must be fragile after three straight defeats but they certainly have good players - Michael Moore and Gordon Lennon are two of the best players in the league in their respective positions.

"The fact they have been beaten in the past few games proves they are probably in a transitional period looking to rebuild for next season.

"I can't think of another season like this when, bar East Fife, every team has struggled to put a run of wins together. It's unbelievable and shows how narrow the line between victory and defeat can be."

Paul Lunan, signed in January but previously unavailable due to suspension, is expected to be involved in tomorrow's match. He will play on something of a tightrope knowing that another booking will lead to a further five match suspension.
