Brechin City vs Stranraer preview - Brechin can spoil Stranraer party

Brechin will be without Gerry McLauchlan again due to a calf problem when they host title-chasing Stranraer.

Colin Hamilton is an injury doubt and Andy Jackson will miss out through suspension, while Callum Tapping and Ryan Ferguson are both in line for recalls.

Manager Ray McKinnon said: "We will know by kick-off time who we will be facing in the play-offs in midweek.

"It would be great to head into them with a win over a Stranraer side who have topped the table for most of the season.

"We are undefeated in six games and we want to take that up to seven before going all out for promotion."

Stranraer's Chris Aitken misses out through suspension after being sent off in last week's 2-0 defeat to Morton, which saw them knocked off top spot.

Grant Gallagher is out with a knee injury, but both Frank McKeown and Jamie Longworth are expected to pass fitness tests and be included.

Manager Stephen Aitken said: "All we can do is win the game and get to 67 points.

"Brechin is a tough away fixture and it will be tough enough to win this game without worrying about events elsewhere.

"If Morton and Forfar beat that total well congratulations to them and we will move on to looking for promotion via the play-offs."
