Stenhousemuir vs Stranraer preview - McMillan back to captain Warriors

Posted Saturday, February 01, 2014 by PA

Stenhousemuir skipper Ross McMillan is back from suspension against Stranraer at Ochilview.

However, a calf injury keeps Kevin McKinlay out and a groin problem sees John Gemmell remain absent

Brown Ferguson continues in interim control of the Warriors and he is looking to guide his side to their first win in six games.

Ferguson said: "Stranraer have had a terrific season and have surprised a lot of people with how well they have done. However, this game gives us the chance to reduce the advantage they have on us.

"This would be a terrific game to win as chasing a five-point difference is much more welcome than an 11-point gap."

Chris Aitken (ankle) and Marc Corcoran (hip) are injury absentees for Stranraer.

Stair Park manager Stevie Aitken is not sure which way Stenhousemuir will line up against his side.

He said: "Brown changed things around tactically last week and his approach brought Stenhousemuir a point. They may see this as a game that they have to win so he could change things around again.

"Their players will also be out to impress any potential new manager so we know that we will be doing well to get on top during this game."
