Falkirk vs Alloa Athletic - Lee Miller returns to Falkirk squad after injury

Posted Friday, November 13, 2015 by PA

Falkirk welcome back fit-again striker Lee Miller when they host bottom of the table Alloa.

Missing are Kieran Duffie and Tom Taiwo, who have knee injuries.

Manager Peter Houston is looking for his side to build on their 2-1 success at promotion rivals Raith Rovers last weekend.

Houston said: "That was a hard-fought win and helped us open up a bit of a gap in third place. We now need to take advantage of that by defeating Alloa, however we know that it will be tough.

"They battled until the end of our last meeting to get a draw."

Alloa hope to have on-loan Rangers Robbie Crawford back in their ranks after he was not allowed to feature in the 4-0 defeat by the Light Blues last weekend.

The midfielder has picked up a knock and manager Danny Lennon will hold off naming his team to give Crawford a chance to recover.

Eddie Ferns misses out through suspension and Michael Duffy is on under-21 duty with Northern Ireland.

Lennon said: "We could be short of creativity but we will be high on industry and spirit as we always are.

"It would be great to give our fans something to cheer in a derby game."
