Match Preview
Duo set for Rovers return Albion midfielders Steven Canning and Chris Boyle have both recovered from knocks and are in manager Paul Martin's plans for the visit of Queen's Park. However, Ciaran Donnelly has been ruled out with a hamstring strain and joins Marc Pollock and Terry Dignam on the sidelines. Martin is looking for his side to turn their good performances into points. "Some of our attacking play this season has been fantastic but we have not won yet and this would be a great game to do that in," he said. "I have a tough choice ahead between John Gemmell and the in-form Paul McLeod and Iain Smith for striking duty. "John gives us a strong presence up front. However, Paul and Iain have scored four times between them this season." Queen's Park head coach Gardner Speirs welcomes defender Darryl Meggat back to his squad. Defender Paul McGinn remains out following his knee operation, with midfielder Giuseppe Capuano and striker Michael Daly also on the sidelines. Midfield dynamo David Anderson and winger David Murray are rated doubtful. Speirs said: "Last season the games between us all finished 1-0 with both sides winning a home game and an away game. "I would imagine this encounter will be another tight affair but we are looking forward to playing again after a disappointing showing against Clyde last weekend. "David Anderson has been excellent for us this season, however we took a chance last week with him and it never quite worked out and he will not play if he is not ready."

Match Report
Hamilton brace sees off Queens A Chris Hamilton double was enough to give Albion their first win of the season as the beat Queens Park 2-1 at the Cliftonhill Stadium. Hamilton opened the scoring in the 32nd minute, firing home left-footed from close range. He then had to wait until the 72nd minute for his second goal of the game when he fired in another close-range effort to make it 2-0, this time with his right foot. Queens did their best to get back into the game but it was too little, too late when Martin McBride side-footed a 90th-minute penalty past Albion keeper Derek Gaston following an Alan Benton handball inside the box.
