Forfar Athletic will be without Michael Travis when they host Linlithgow Rose in a rearranged Scottish Cup replay.

He joins the ineligible Andy Ryan in missing out for the League One side.

Juniors Linlithgow will be without the suspended Gary Thom, Chris Gray and Ruari MacLennan and Roddy MacLennan misses out due to a knee injury.

Colin Leiper is expected to return to a starting role after being on the bench during Saturday's 1-1 Scottish Junior Cup draw with Irvine Meadow.

The game was rescheduled after a section of lights failed in the seventh minute, with the match abandoned 18 minutes later.

Ross County await the winners in the fifth round.

Forfar Athletic manager Gary Bollan: "There were more positives to take from the Stenhousemuir game than negatives.

"However, we do need to be a bit more dynamic when we get into our opponents' box.

"We did not take any credit from the first meeting with Linlithgow as they came back from 3-1 down with 10 men.

"Hopefully we can put things right in this meeting."

Linlithgow Rose manager David McGlynn: "I will not be able to finalise my team until I hear back from a couple of players who are struggling to get time off work.

"We will have a very different line-up to the one that played at the weekend, but we will go out and give it a real go."
