Stirling Albion vs Stenhousemuir preview - Albion sweating on McLeish

Stirling will give midfielder Craig McLeish until the last minute to overcome a back injury and be included against Stenhousemuir.

Goalkeeper Sam Filler remains absent with a broken hand and defender Shaun Dillon's injured ankle keeps him sidelined, with bottom of the table Stirling out to make amends for a 4-0 defeat the last time they played the Warriors.

Interim manager Greig McDonald is also looking to finally end a run of five postponements and an abandonment to begin his time in charge as player/manager.

He said: "We had quite a bad day at the office the last time we faced Stenhousemuir when we simply failed to turn up at all.

"While the past few weeks have been frustrating we are raring to go and get something from the game."

Stenhousemuir are waiting on news of midfielder Brown Ferguson's battle to overcome a calf problem before finalising their side.

Assistant manager Kevin McGoldrick is looking for a positive reaction from the Warriors after they went down too easily to Cowdenbeath on Boxing Day, losing 2-0 at home.

"We were poor in that game and made it too easy for them," he said. "We have been good all season on our own patch but that was not the case against Cowdenbeath but we cannot let our heads drop over it.

"Hopefully we can bounce straight back against Stirling, although it will be difficult as their players will be out to show Greig McDonald what they can do."
