Match Preview

Stenhousemuir lack striking options Stenhousemuir are still short of strikers for the visit of Brechin, with Scott Dalziel, Simon Lynch and Alex Williams not starting because of injury. However, Ochilview boss John Coughlin has been able to bolster his squad with the addition of versatile St Mirren youngsters Ally Love and Mark McLennan on loan. Coughlin said: "We were unlucky last week against Airdrie when we went down to a bit of a wonder goal. We battled hard for a draw up at Brechin earlier in the season and we can take confidence from that. "I would like to think we will be able to get on the front foot more than we could do in that game where Brechin pinned us back a bit." Leaders Brechin are without top goalscorer Rory McAllister through suspension and long-term injury victim Charlie King. They may be even lighter on bodies as midfielder Jamie Redman and on-loan Aberdeen striker Anthony Bolger face Saturday morning fitness tests. Glebe Park boss Jim Weir is anticipating a tough game, saying: "Stenhousemuir have a great home record and have pulled off some cracking results there, so we know this will be a really tough game. "John Coughlin will have his side really well prepared and I would imagine they will be a lot more adventurous than they were when they got a goalless draw at our place. "I think they will come out and attack us."

Match Report

City miss out on top spot Brechin missed the chance to go top of the Second Division after they were held to a goalless draw by Stenhousemuir. Jim Weir's team began the game brightly and were given a golden opportunity to seize control of the match when Paul Quinn felled David McKenna in the area. But Neil Janczyk's placed spot-kick after 11 minutes was turned around the post by Alistair Brown. Stenhousemuir rallied after the early wake-up call and began to carve out chances of their own, with Grant Anderson drilling a shot narrowly wide. Anderson should have scored but could only volley past the upright as Stenny began to boss the affair. However, the two teams only succeeded in cancelling each other out in the second half as the spoils were shared at Ochilview Park.
