Match Preview
Cawley banned for East Fife clash Stirling Albion are without suspended midfielder John Cawley as interim manager Greig McDonald looks to lead his side to three wins in three games against one of his former clubs East Fife. Goalkeeper Sam Filler remains out with a broken hand with everyone else in the Albion squad available for McDonald to pick from. "I was at East Fife for over seven years and really enjoyed my time there," said McDonald. "But it is all about Stirling now for me. "They have really good players particularly up front but our players have put in a great deal of application and effort to achieve two wins out of two. "The same again will be required to make it three out of three." East Fife pair David Muir and Darren Smith should return for the clash. Back injuries kept them out of last weekend's 2-2 draw with Arbroath but they have recovered sufficiently to be involved. New Bayview boss John Robertson knows his opponents will be looking to jump over his men in the table and he is determined the three points are on-board his team bus afterwards. He said: "They are playing with a lot of heart and soul at the moment for their new manager and we have to be ready for that. "We were much more like the way I want us to be when we played Arbroath last week and we deserved more than a 2-2 draw. "If we perform to that level again then we will do okay at Stirling."

Match Report
Wallace wins it for Fifers Ryan Wallace's solitary strike was enough to see East Fife win 1-0 at Stirling despite playing for 70 minutes with 10 men. Darren Smith had the first sight of goal for Stirling in the second minute but he shot over the bar. Lewis Bonar tried his luck from long range five minutes later but East Fife goalkeeper Michael Brown comfortably saved. The away side were down to 10 men after 20 minutes as Darren McCormack was dismissed for serious foul play after fouling Scott Davidson. Despite their numerical disadvantage, the Fifers took the lead after 51 minutes, Wallace picking the ball up and drilling home an unstoppable shot from the edge of the area. Smith should have equalised in the final minute, but shot over from close range.
