Turner is major doubt for Alloa tie

Dumbarton midfielder struggling to make Scottish Cup game

Dumbarton midfielder Chris Turner is almost certainly out of tomorrow’s William Hill Scottish Cup tie at Alloa after leaving The Bet Butler Stadium on crutches following Wednesday night’s 2-2 draw with Livingston.

The Northern Irishman lasted only 7 minutes of the game against the Lions before limping off with an ankle problem, although manager Ian Murray has not completely ruled him out.

Murray explained: “It does look like a nasty injury however we will need to wait and see. Colin Nish was in a similar shape last weekend and we got him onto the park against Livingston so you never know.”

“Chris is a big player for us but we have won games without him in the past and hopefully will again.”
