Stenhousemuir vs Stranraer: Stenhousemuir suffer Scotland setback

Stenhousemuir striker Jason Scotland will miss out against Stranraer after picking up a hamstring injury in last Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Dunfermline.

The injured Ciaran Summers (groin) and Allan Smith (hip) are also out as the club look to bounce back from successive defeats.

Manager Brown Ferguson said: "I was really pleased with how we played (against Dunfermline) and while it was disappointing not to pick up any points I am sure that if we play like that again we will win more games than we lose.

"Stranraer have dropped into bottom spot and we will therefore be facing a side that are very determined to get moving up the way."

Stranraer player-assistant manager Lee Mair will be sidelined at Ochilview due to a groin injury.

Ryan Thompson is doubtful with a knock while a calf problem keeps Chris Aitken out and Andy Stirling is absent due to a foot issue.

Manager Brian Reid said: "There is only one way we can go now and that is up. We were on top at Brechin last weekend however we never got the goal our play deserved and went behind to their first shot at goal.

"That sums up the luck that we are having just now but we can turn things around if we take our chances."
