Gemmell still out for Albion

Albion Rovers host East Stirling with striker John Gemmell still out with a rib injury.

The Coatbridge side are looking for their fifth win of the season and are second in Scottish League Two.

Manager Darren Young said: "We've had four wins and a draw in our opening six games and that's a good start. We are now looking build on that by defeating an East Stirling side that are young but have picked up a couple of decent wins.

"We didn't start well at Berwick last weekend but finished strongly. If we can start where we left off then we have a good chance of getting another win."

East Stirling miss the injured trio of Chris Townsley (ankle), Nathan Shepherd (knee), and Paul McMullan (foot) as they look to secure their first points on the road this season.

Head coach Craig Tully said: "It will be a really tough game at Albion Rovers as they have made a terrific start to in the league. It will be a terrific challenge for our players and one I am sure they will enjoy.

"We never threatened against Annan enough in our last game until it was much too late and if we are to take anything from Coatbridge then we have to be on the front foot sooner."
