Albion Rovers vs Cowdenbeath preview - Albion aim to bounce back against Blue Brazil

Posted Saturday, December 03, 2011 by PA

Albion welcome back creative midfielder Chris Boyle to face league leaders Cowdenbeath after more than a month out with a hamstring problem.

Full-back Barry Russell remains out with a similar injury as Coatbridge manager Paul Martin looks to get back to winning ways after last week's 3-0 defeat at Stenhousemuir.

Martin said: "This will be a real test as Colin Cameron has done a great job in his first full season as Cowdenbeath manager, however we will go into the game with confidence.

"We played really well last week and were really unlucky to be beaten by such a scoreline. If we play to the same level again we will do okay in this game."

Cowdenbeath player/manager Cameron looks set to play at Albion's Cliftonhill ground for the first time in his long career after shaking off a hamstring injury.

Cameron, who is without defender Thomas O'Brien due to a thigh injury, is warning his side not to be fooled by the Coatbridge side's 3-0 defeat to Stenhousemuir last weekend.

"The report I received told me that Rovers were really unfortunate to lose by that scoreline," Cameron said. "They are a well organised side who scored seven times in their last home game so this will be a really tricky encounter.

"We had chances last weekend against Dumbarton but never took them and I am looking for us to be a bit more clinical this time out."
