Stranraer vs Stenhousemuir preview - Stranraer wait on McKeown
Posted Saturday, August 25, 2012 by PA
Stranraer will give defender Frank McKeown until the last minute to prove his fitness for the clash with Stenhousemuir after he sustained a calf injury in training on Thursday.
Fellow centre-back David MacGregor remains sidelined with a knee injury and manager Keith Knox does not want to face the Warriors without his two most experienced defenders.
Knox said: "Frank's injury had improved on Friday so it is a case of wait and see. They are bang in form and it would be good if Frank was available.
"Our best two performances this season have been at home against Stenhousemuir and then Arbroath and it would be good to get our first win after the disappointment of losing to Forfar last Saturday."
Stenhousemuir manager Martyn Corrigan has warned his side not to be complacent about their hosts despite his side's unbeaten start.
Eric Paton and Kevin McKinlay have been ruled out through hip and calf injuries respectively, but Brown Ferguson is expected to return after illness.
Corrigan said: "Stranraer are a very decent team and they gave us a really hard game before we won our Ramsdens Cup match just before the end.
"We can't think that we are at the stage where we can turn up and expect to win games as I don't think that will happen in this league this season.
"Stranraer will be out to grab their first win but we can win it if we go there with the right attitude."
