The boss has spoken for the past couple of weeks of wanting to strengthen several areas of the squad and he now says some players could be leaving Gayfield in January.

He told the Arbroath Herald that some players will have to take the opportunity to move on to other clubs.

He said: "Of course, we are certainly looking to improve the squad but I will have to speak to one or two players who might need to move on for a fresh challenge.

"I will be looking to adapt the squad but I won't be making a whole lot of changes."
