Stenhousemuir vs Stranraer preview - Stenhousemuir duo ruled out of Stranraer's visit

Posted Friday, September 11, 2015 by PA

Stenhousemuir are missing injured pair Cieran Summers and Kieran Millar against Stranraer.

Jamie McCormack is available after a knock as the Warriors go in search of their third home victory in a row.

Manager Brown Ferguson said: "We have been strong at home this season and want to keep that going. To do that then we have to put in a more robust display than our 5-2 defeat at Ayr in our last outing as we lost bad goals in that one.

"We lost to Stranraer in a cup tie earlier in the season but there was little between us so we can look forward to this game."

Stranraer, who will move above their hosts in the table with a win, are again without recent signing David Barron, who has a calf injury.

Goalkeeper David McGurn and striker Mark McGuigan are expected to feature despite being ill earlier in the week.

Manager Brian Reid said: "Ochilview is a tough venue and Stenhousemuir are always a good side on their own patch.

"I was surprised to see lose five goals at Ayr however I think there was a number of uncharacteristic mistakes made that night. I am expecting them to be back on top form and for us to have play really well to do anything."
