The Borders club went into administration on Wednesday and David Elliot, of insolvency experts Wilson Field, admitted on Thursday that the club were struggling to put together a team for the match against the Dons.

But a Gretna spokesperson has said: "At the time there were only 10 players, I think, forthcoming. But we've got a squad now capable of travelling so there's no problems at all doing that."

They continued: "Obviously it's not going to have some of the players that were here beforehand. It will include three or four under-19 players but generally it still contains a lot of the original squad.

"If we can get the gate receipts from the Celtic game next week, that will put us in a better position, so we're just holding on until then really."
