East Fife vs Stirling Albion preview - Fifers at full strength
Posted Saturday, April 21, 2012 by PA
East Fife are looking to boost their play-off chances by seeing off Stirling, and manager Gordon Durie has a full squad to choose from.
David White is available once again after suspension and Andrew Cook returns to contention following his hamstring injury.
Durie said: "It was disappointing to go down to Albion Rovers last week and we have to take that as a warning as Stirling Albion are fighting for their lives as well.
"We need the win to keep our objectives on track and to do that we have to start a whole lot better than we did last week when we were two goals down before we turned up.
"We need to match the battling qualities that Stirling will use and then go out and win the game."
Bottom of the table Stirling look set to be without goalkeeper Callum Reidford through a groin problem.
Albion, who will also miss Andy Hunter because of a knee injury, could be relegated at New Bayview if they lose and rivals Albion and Forfar win, but manager Greig McDonald is being positive.
McDonald said: "We know what we need to do and that is to win this game. If we play like we can we will pick up the three points. I have asked the boys to go out and give it plenty of effort and see where that takes us.
"Albion Rovers won here last week but that may just make East Fife even more dangerous."
