"Every match counts now," said Arbroath manager Dick Campbell ahead of the crucial encounter against Montrose this weekend. The fierce local rivalry adds an extra layer of intensity to this Scottish Championship clash, making it one of the highlights of the season for both clubs.

With both teams eyeing a strong finish, Arbroath will look to leverage their home advantage at Gayfield Stadium. The players are eager to reclaim their spot in the upper half of the table, especially after a series of inconsistent results. The heavy rain forecast for the match day could affect play; however, Arbroath fare well in challenging conditions, having displayed resilience in previous fixtures.

Key players Roan Dow and R. Callachan will be additional assets for Arbroath as they approach the match. Dow's recent form suggests he could be pivotal in breaking through Montrose's defensive line. On the other side, Montrose will come equipped with their own star players, eager to dominate the match.

Kickoff is set for 3 PM on Saturday. Fans are advised to arrive early as a lively atmosphere is expected at Gayfield, with local supporters keen on getting one over their rivals. "We will be ready, that's for sure," added Campbell, determined to see his side bring home the win.
