Stranraer vs Stirling Albion preview - Only our best will do - Aitken

Leaders Stranraer have a full-strength squad to choose from as they look to return to winning ways against bottom-of-the-table visitors Stirling Albion.

The Blues lost to Brechin in their last home outing and drew at Airdrie last weekend and manager Stephen Aitken is looking for an improved display from his side.

Aitken said: "Stirling are fighting for their lives and they pushed Forfar all the way last weekend despite having a man sent off. We need to be back to our best to get the three points.

"Our point at Airdrie last weekend could be seen as a valuable one come the end of the season if we win games like this."

Stirling Albion welcome striker Lewis Coult back from suspension, but Chris Smith sits this game out after being dismissed against Forfar last Saturday.

Also missing are Steven Doris and Graham Weir, who are both suffering from stomach muscle injuries, and Darren Smith, who has a knee injury, while David McClune left the club this week.

Assistant manager Martyn Corrigan said: "We held Stranraer to a draw in our last meeting so we know that we can give them a hard game.

"They play good football and are an attacking side so we need to ensure that we get the defensive side of our game right."
