Lunan sidelined for Gable Endies

Montrose defender Paul Lunan is their only absentee with a fractured ankle as they entertain Berwick Rangers looking for a second home win in four days.

The Gable Endies defeated Stirling 3-2 on Saturday and manager Stuart Garden is looking for more of the same saying: "We had got ourselves into a play-off place and stayed there despite not playing before Christmas or on Boxing Day when teams were catching up with us.

"We kept our place with a win at the weekend and we have to go into every game looking for the win that will consolidate us there.

"Berwick will be disappointed by losing to a late goal to Clyde and be keen to make up for us winning at their place so we are in for a tough game."

Berwick Rangers hope to have Steve Notman back in their midfield after illness kept him out of Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Clyde.

Marc Lancaster and Dene Droudge remain out while Chris Townsley is a doubt due to a back injury with manager Ian Little looking for an improvement in his side's results on the road.

Little said: "We need to get our season going again and if we want to close in on a play-off place we have to pick up more wins away from home. This would be a great game for us to start putting that right in.

"Montrose won at our place recently but the 4-1 scoreline flattered them a bit so we can head to their place with no reservations."M
