Match Preview

McManus may miss out Brechin striker Paul McManus is struggling with a back injury as the Glebe Park side take on bottom of the table Albion aiming to get back to winning ways after last weekend's defeat at Forfar. David McClune and Derek Carcary continue to be ruled out with knocks, however defender Gerry McLauchlan could return to the starting line-up after two months out with a knee injury. City sit sixth in the race for a play-off place, and manager Jim Weir said: "We face two really big home games against Albion this weekend and then East Fife. "Looking positively, winning them both would put us in a much better position to attack a play-off place in the closing weeks of the season. Beating Albion takes us halfway to that aim." Second Division bottom club Albion travel to Brechin have lost the services of on-loan Jordan Halsman following his recall by Motherwell at the end of a month-long spell. The Coatbridge side are looking to repeat the sparking 4-1 success they had over their hosts last November. However they may also be without Tony Stevenson and Robert Love, who are both rated doubtful after picking up knocks in the Lanarkshire derby last weekend against Airdrie. Manager Paul Martin said: "That 4-1 win was a great win, although the balance of play was closer than the scoreline would suggest. "We have only won twice away from home this season and winning for a third time would be a great boost in our fight for survival."
