Match Preview
Quartet banned for Annan Annan have an early-season suspension crisis with four players ruled out of their league opener against Queens Park. Defenders Jack Steele, Aaron Muirhead and Kevin Neilson are all banned along with midfielder Bryan Gilfillan. Experienced frontman Sean O'Connor is struggling with an injury and manager Harry Cairney is hoping that striker Graeme Bell will be available despite impending work commitments. Cairney said: "It is not ideal especially against a Queen's Park side that kept the nucleus of their squad from last season but we will just have to get on with things. "The boys did really well against Dunfermline last week and had them under pressure during spells of the game and if we can reach that level again we may well start the season with a win." Queens Park have winger Sean Burns unavailable but fit-again David Murray looks set to come in as his replacement. Last season's top goalscorer Jamie Longworth is included but Tony Quinn, Steven Baillie and Michael O'Hara remain sidelined through injury along with young midfielder Allan Urquhart. Head coach Gardner Speirs said: "We have had the cup games but there is always a heightened expectancy when you start playing in the league. "It is always tough at Galabank but our record down there is quite good so kick off cannot come quick enough for me."

Match Report
Gibson at the double in big win A brace from defender Scott Gibson helped Annan overturn a two-goal deficit to beat Queens Park 5-2. Queens grabbed the lead after 18 minutes when Craig Smith fired home from close range. Smith doubled his tally nine minutes later with a rasping 20-yard drive. But Annan hit back just after the half hour when David Cox collected Chris Jardine's cross and drilled the ball into the top corner. They were level on the stroke of half-time when Graeme Bell powered the ball into the top corner from the edge of the area. Gibson put Annan in front after 59 minutes when he planted his header into the top corner. They extended their lead three minutes later when Steven Sloan swept home Ian Harty's cross. Annan scored their third in the space of six second-half minutes when Gibson slotted the ball home from 12 yards.
