Stenhousemuir vs Queen's Park - Shaw set for Stenny debut

Posted Saturday, August 13, 2016 by PA

Stenhousemuir could give a debut to Oli Shaw against Queen's Park after the striker joined on loan from Hibernian.

The experienced David Sinclair has also been added to the ranks at Ochilview Park and he too could be in line for his first Warriors appearance.

A back problem keeps out Jim Paterson, while Ciaran Summers continues to be troubled by a groin injury.

Manager Brown Ferguson said: "It has been a frustrating start to the season for us as we have improved in every game but that improvement has not brought the reward of a win. The players have put a lot into games and hopefully they will do so again against Queen's Park and we will get three points."

Queen's Park welcome back captain Sean Burns after a ban.

However, injuries have ruled out Craig McLeish (back), Tony Quinn (hip), Jamie McKernan (foot) and John Carter (ankle).

Head coach Gus MacPherson is looking for the same level of performance from his side as they put in against Airdrie last Saturday despite the Diamonds winning 3-1.

MacPherson said: "There was not a lot wrong with the performance and if we had scored when we were on top during the first half an hour then the outcome could have been very different. We need to play at the same tempo again but be much more clinical when we create chances."
