The Lochaber outfit have been relegated from the Breedon Highland League after withdrawing from the pyramid play-off against Superleague champions Banks o’ Dee on the eve of the first leg because of issues regarding player eligibility and the state of the pitch at Claggan Park.
Fort have taken their case to the Scottish FA and issued a statement refuting the Highland League’s claims about their lack of eligible players and taking issue with the inspection of Claggan Park.
Meanwhile, Formartine United have completed the signing of former Aberdeen midfielder Mark Gallagher.
The 21-year-old, who started his career at Ross County, also had loan spells at Forfar and Cliftonville during his time at the Dons.
Gallagher said: “I’m really impressed with what I’ve seen so far.
“Stuart Anderson has really sold the club to me and I’m delighted to sign for Formartine United.”
Formartine boss Anderson said: “Mark is exactly the quality of player I’m looking for at Formartine United.
“His playing pedigree is strong and I’m looking forward to working with him.”
