Trio fit for Elgin

Elgin expect to have Jamie Duff, Ally Gilchrist and Matt Cooper available to face Clyde at Borough Briggs.

The trio overcame knocks sustained in the 5-3 defeat to East Fife last Tuesday.

Manager Jim Weir said: "If we had had a game on Saturday they would have been struggling to make it but thankfully the extra few days has seen them okay.

"This is the first of two home games for us and winning them both would give us a real chance of getting very close to the play-off chase. If we don't win them then we are still looking down the way at relegation issues."

Clyde go looking for the win that would lift them into fifth place without the injured Scott McLaughlin (broken arm) and Scott Ferguson (knee) while Scott McManus is unlikely to feature as he is short of match practice following a knee problem.

Manager Barry Ferguson said: "We came from behind to get a draw with East Stirling at the weekend and take our unbeaten run up to seven games.

"It was good to do that but we know that we have to play well for the 90 minutes.

"The first half was poor but if we can play like we did in the second then we are in with a chance."
