Match Preview
Fit-again Lawson in County comeback Ross County welcome back midfielder Paul Lawson for the crunch clash with Stirling Albion at the foot of the table. However, defender Darren McCormack and striker Stevie Craig remain out injured. Dingwall boss Willie McStay reckons his squad is now in the best shape it has been since he arrived in October. He said: "Paul Lawson has trained for a full week now as has Michael Gardyne, Paul Di Giacomo, Darren Smith and Andy Barrowman. These guys have played games without being fully fit but they are clear of their knocks now." McStay added: "Between now and the end of the season I want to move Ross County higher up the table, starting by taking three points from Stirling Albion." Albion will travel north with winger Adam Strachan in their squad as a trialist. Manager Jocky Scott is keen to sign the player on a longer basis. Defender Ross Forsyth is also included in the squad. However, goalkeeper Callum Reidford and defender Martyn Corrigan remain out with knocks. Scott said: "Last week was the first time I had seen the side play a competitive game and we need to improve on that showing as we gave goals away really cheaply. "We need a win and this would be as good a game as any to win but we have to show a higher level of performance."

Match Report
Woodwork frustrates Stirling Gordon Smith hit the post for Stirling as they were held to a goalless draw by Ross County. Scott Boyd should have opened the scoring for the home side as early as the eighth minute but he could not convert from close range while Smith almost broke the deadlock after 27 minutes but his 20-yard strike came back off the woodwork. After the interval, both sides tried to find that all-important goal with Michael Gardyne going close for County but his 20-yard strike was comfortably saved by Michael Gardyne. Steven Milne could have won it late on for County but his shot was parried around the post by Scott Christie while Smith had an effort blocked in the last minute as both sides had to settle for a point.
