MacPherson wary of struggling Forfar
Ahead of tonight’s cup clash, MacPherson said: “Dick Campbell will have them battling for everything and we need to match that and then put our stamp on the game. I watched their Ramsdens Cup tie against Morton and apart from a crazy five-minute spell where they lost goals I thought they played well.
“Our players will be well warned about how difficult this game could be.”

Forfar manager Dick Campbell, who has a full squad to choose from, said: “We travelled to Queen of the South at the same stage last season and were beaten 4-1. It would be good to show them we can play a lot better.”
Campbell’s side have started their Second Division campaign in disappointing fashion with only one point so far, and he added: “We have to be much tighter at the back. If we can do that we have a chance.”
