Shire strong for Montrose match

East Stirling welcome back on-loan Celtic midfielder Luke Donnelly when they host bottom club Montrose.

Head coach Craig Tully will have a full squad available as he looks to guide the Shire towards the play-offs.

Tully said: "The boys have been terrific and to be talking about the play-offs at this stage of the season is down to them. We will just look to win as many of our remaining games as possible and see where we end up.

"Montrose have nothing to lose and that makes them very difficult opponents. We will have to work as hard as we have done over the last 10 games to get another win."

Montrose's place in the end of season pyramid play-off against either Brora Rangers or Edinburgh City will be confirmed if they do not win at Ochilview.

They will be without the injured Marvin Andrews (knee), Alan Campbell (knee), Bryan Deasley (ankle), Leighton McIntosh (knee) and Stephen Day (ankle). Paul Harkins is a doubt with a hamstring injury.

Montrose manager Paul Hegarty said: "We need a miracle to avoid the play-offs so it is important that we start playing to a consistently high standard.

"Last week against Queen's Park we were good in the first half and poor in the second and we need to start delivering over 90 minutes now."
