I was looking for news on Vareille yesterday as he is a major player for Ayr. Seems he's back and they may be in with a shout:
Quote:
AYR’S casualty ward is finally showing signs of improvement ahead of the trip to bottom dogs Stirling.
Jerome Vareille has recovered from his knee ligament injury while Andy Reid is also fully fit after his calf strain.
There’s also good news for Martyn Campbell and Mark Casey who are both rated as having a ‘fair chance’ of making the game at Forthbank.
Only Barry McLaughlin remains a serious doubt after his knee knock at Raith but John Maisano (virus) will definitely miss out.
And Robert Connor has called on his side to come through their sticky patch now that the walking wounded are back on board.
He said: “We always knew this time would come because you don’t go through every week of the season winning and now it’s time for the lads to show what they’re made of.
“We’ve had a good response from them in training but doing it on the pitch is what matters and we’ll be looking for a positive reaction at Stirling.
“But I’m quite confident that we can go up there and get a result and hopefully we start to get that wee rub of the green which has perhaps deserted us in recent weeks.”
However, the boss has warned against the threat that winless Albion will pose as they aim to get their first three points of the season.
He said: “They could be capable of anything with a record like that. We don’t know what they might do in terms of changing formation or tactics to try and find that extra spark, so it’ll be a tough game for us.
“Stirling aren’t a bad side and I think it’s a case of when you get off to a bad start like they have, it’s difficult to get out of it.
“But they probably just need one win and then they’ll start stringing them together, so we just have to make sure it’s not against us.”
