Match Preview

Shire look to halt Spiders charge East Stirling will be without forward Kevin Cawley for their meeting with in-form Queen's Park. Cawley misses the clash through suspension but left-back Dean Richardson is expected to return having sat out of Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Albion Rovers with a virus. Shire head coach Jim McInally is set to make changes after admitting he got his tactics wrong at the weekend, with striker Stephen Maguire likely to start. McInally said: "I selected a team I thought would be better able to match Albion Rovers physically and who would be better suited to playing on a heavy pitch. "It did not work out that way but we are back on the artificial surface and I will pick my team accordingly." Queen`s Park teenager Paul Gallacher is expected to deputise for the suspended Ricky Little. Gallagher will take his place in the centre of defence alongside 45-year-old Andy Millen, with striker Graeme Eaglesham added to the Spiders` travelling party after he recovered from a knock. But Jamie Brough, Richard Sinclair, Tony Quinn, Michael O'Hara and Craig Smith remain unavailable to Hampden head coach Gardner Speirs as he looks to guide his men to what would be a fifth win in six games. Yet despite their recent movement up the table, Speirs is playing down talk of a promotion push. He said: "At the moment all we are interested in is ensuring we keep our good form and good run of results going. Anything else we will look into later in the season."

Match Report

Daly downs East Stirling Michael Daly's second-half strike proved the difference as Queens Park claimed a hard-fought 1-0 win over struggling East Stirling. After a cagey opening period, in which both sides battled for the initiative, it was the hosts who created the first opportunity when Scott Johnston forced a smart save from Adam Strain. Queens Park responded well thereafter, though, and took the lead just after the interval when Martin McBride whipped in a delicious centre which Daly headed home. Desperate to get back into the game, East Stirling pushed forward but their endeavour just allowed the visitors to create more opportunities. But they failed to convert them and a tense finish was set up when Daryll Meggatt was sent off for a second bookable offence. However, it mattered little as Queens Park held on to claim the points.
