Dumbarton shared the spoils against Stirling Albion despite taking the lead twice through Ross Maclean’s 20th-minute opener and Finlay Gray’s 52nd-minute effort. Stevie Farrell’s men have now collected just seven points from their last six outings. The poor run of form has allowed Stirling Albion to overtake them into the top spot. Nevertheless three points on Wednesday will take Farrell’s men back to the summit of the standings. Dumbarton’s last win came against Stranraer FC (2-0) on March 4, courtesy of goals from Maclean and Gregor Buchanan. It was their 16th league-win of the season.
Forfar, on the other hand, have been largely inconsistent in the last couple of weeks, recording one win, four draws and two defeats from their last seven league matches. The Loons came from behind to earn a point against Stenhousemuir on Saturday, thanks to Craig’s Slater’s 57th-minute equaliser. Ray McKinnon’s side’s last win came against Annan Athletic (2-1) on March 18, courtesy of goals from Matthew Atkin and Ben Armour. It was their 10th fourth tier victory of the season. Forfar are very much alive in the hunt to secure a playoff spot, and a victory on Wednesday would see them move level on points with fourth-placed Annan Athletic.
