Gretna's Scottish Premier League fixture with Aberdeen at Pittodrie on Saturday will go ahead as planned.

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

However, the game will go ahead and arrangements are also being made regarding the Celtic fixture due to be played next Sunday at Fir Park.

Elliott explained on Thursday that players had not been paid and, with doubts about insurance, he was told only 10 of the 17 senior members of the squad were prepared to turn out - all outfield players.

A Gretna spokesman 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.

"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."

He added: "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."
