Match Preview
Frances returns for rock-bottom Shire East Stirling have defender Ryan Frances back from suspension as they take on Annan at Ochilview looking for the points that will drag them closer to the sides just above them at the foot of the league table. The Shire's cause is not helped by injuries, however, as both Jamie Benton and Alex Lurinsky have dropped out with groin problems and Graeme Ramage is unavailable due to a thigh strain. Youngsters Kyle Gillespie and Jamie Glasgow have been added to the squad, with head coach John Coughlin saying: "We still have Clyde in our sights but the only way we can catch them is if we win our games. "Our home form has been good recently and we have done well against Annan already this season so we are looking forward to the game." Annan are without striker David Cox through suspension as they look to keep their fading promotion play-off hopes alive. The Galabank men have injury doubts over on-loan Carlisle pair Steven Swinglehurst and Ben McKenna as well as Graeme Bell, David Winters, Steven Sloan and Sean O'Connor. Manager Harry Cairney said: "We could be a bit low on numbers but we simply have to win this game to keep any chance alive. However, we are going through a real crisis of confidence at the moment. "We are going through the unfortunate combination of not taking chances and giving away goals. Hopefully we can put that right against East Stirling and look to finish the season on a high."
