Match Preview
Alloa striker Jim Lister has recovered from a flu bug that has been doing the rounds to keep his place in manager Allan Maitland's squad for the visit of league leaders Brechin City on Saturday. Midfielder Brown Ferguson remains on the sidelines through injury, though, as does striker Stuart Noble with fellow forward Bryan Prunty a serious doubt after picking up a knock in training this week. The Wasps boss is doubly keen that his men win, knowing they can keep the heat on Brechin if they take the points. He said: "We could really do with winning this game to close the gap on Brechin to one point. We do not want to fall any further back at this stage of the season." Brechin City boss Jim Weir has brought striker Mark Archdeacon back to Glebe Park for a second stint and he has also added Aberdeen youngster Anthony Bolger on loan. Star striker Rory McAllister is beginning a two-game ban and Weir has thrown down a challenge to the rest of his squad to prove their worth without him. He said: "Alloa are a team full of excellent players who I expect to be challenging us for the title throughout the season. "They will also be out to avenge the defeat we gave them at our place where Rory was instrumental in that win and the rest of the guys have the chance to show that they can win games without him being in the team."

Match Report
Brechin cling to the summit Brechin held on to top spot in Division Two after coming from behind against Alloa to earn a 2-2 draw. The visitors took the lead midway through the first half when forward Kevin Byers fired in from 20 yards. Alloa responded well and were level inside 15 minutes, defender Michael Dunlop popping up in the area to score his first goal for the club. The home side then almost took the lead before the break but Darren Smith's effort hit the post. But it only took Alloa 10 minutes of the second half to take the lead for the first time, and this time it was a more reknowned goalscorer in the shape of striker Bryan Prunty who found the net with a crisp drive. Like, Alloa the visitors needed less than 15 minutes to reply, their equaliser coming from substitute Anthony Bolger who let fly from 20 yards. After Bolger's effort the game petered out and a draw was a fair outcome.
