Match Preview

Albion look to close gap on leaders Stranraer Albion are again without centre-back Todd Lumsden and striker Marc Pollock for the visit of Queen`s Park. Despite the pair`s omission, Albion do welcome back midfielder Chris Boyle to their squad as they look to move within one point of the top of the Third Division table. Coatbridge boss Paul Martin is looking for a better result than the weekend's 2-0 defeat by Montrose, although he feels his side's performance does not need to improve too much. Martin said: "I am not unhappy with how we played at all as the only thing missing from our game on Saturday was goals. "They will come especially as the strikers have been told to stop trying to walk the ball into the net and simply just finish." Queen's Park are able to include Jamie Brough in their squad. Brough returns from suspension to face a Rovers side who have beaten them twice already this season. Striker Jamie Longworth remains in the treatment room while fellow frontman Craig Smith is unavailable due to family commitments, but midfielder David Anderson could return after missing out against Stranraer at the weekend with a knock. Paul Harkins is in line for a start after flu restricted the creative player to a substitute appearance at the weekend. Hampden head coach Gardner Speirs said: "There were a lot of positives for us in our performance at Stair Park despite losing 2-1. The players deserved a better result and hopefully they will get one at Albion Rovers."

Match Report

Late drama as Queens win Queens Park staged a dramatic late comeback as they beat Albion 2-1 with two goals in the final three minutes. Chris Boyle put Albion in front after 16 minutes when he volleyed a close-range effort past Queens goalkeeper Adam Strain and into the top corner. But in the 87th minute, Martin McBride`s outswinging corner from the left was nodded back across goal by Richard Little and Anthony Quinn was on hand to tap the ball into an unguarded net to make it 1-1. And just two minutes later McBride created the winner with an inswinging corner from the left where Quinn was again unmarked inside the six-yard box to fire into the roof of the net to make it 2-1.
