Stenhousemuir vs Brechin City preview - Double blow for Warriors

Posted Friday, December 19, 2014 by PA

Stenhousemuir will be without Stewart Greacen and Martin Grehan against Brechin at Ochilview.

Greacen has a knee injury while Grehan is struggling with a back problem as the Warriors look to build on last weekend's 3-2 win at Ayr.

"That was a very good win, although we could have avoided such a fraught finish by seeing things out in a stronger fashion,"said Stenhousemui manager Scott Booth.

"We have had tight games with Brechin all season and not got what we deserved as they have won them both by the odd goal. This will be another tight one, however it would be nice to get the better of them and get some momentum going."

Brechin have added Dundee striker Craig Wighton to their ranks and he goes straight into the squad for the trip.

Callum Tapping is the only absentee for City due to a knee injury.

Bully Wee boss Ray McKinnon is determined that his men end a run of four league games where they have let leads slip.

He said: "We are doing well to score goals but then not seeing games out. Last Saturday at Morton was the most frustrating yet as I don't think it was a penalty when they equalised.

"Hopefully we can go to Stenhousemuir and do what we did in the Scottish Cup earlier in the season - which was to get ahead and stay ahead."
