Three missing for East Stirling

East Stirling are without the suspended Neil McCabe and injured duo Ross Gilmour and Billy Vidler for the clash against East Fife at Ochilview.

Head coach Craig Tully is set to bring in a trialist defender as he looks to lift his side off bottom spot by getting back to winning ways at home.

Tully said: "We defeated East Fife at our place earlier in the season and have actually beaten the top four sides here. We have shown that we can do well with home advantage and, if we can do that again by defeating East Fife, we may just move up the table."

The Fifers have added Dundee United youngster Ali Coote on loan and their armoury has also been increased by the return of Kevin Smith after injury.

Craig Murray misses out with an ankle knock, with player/manager Gary Naysmith keen to build on last weekend's fine success at Annan.

Naysmith said: "We played really well in our last game and that win, which followed a success over Berwick, has lifted us into the top three.

"If we can win a third game in a row then we really are gaining momentum. However, we know that it will be difficult as the Shire are strong in their own patch."
