Millar's a wounded Warrior

Stenhousemuir are without Kieran Millar due to illness when they host play-off seeking Brechin at Ochilview.

The Warriors sit in the safety of eighth place courtesy of having a one goal better goal difference than Ayr, with manager Brown Ferguson looking for his side to build on a strong finish against leaders Stranraer last weekend.

Ferguson said: "We were three goals down at Stair Park, however we rallied well and grabbed a couple back.

"If we can play for 90 minutes as we did for most of that second half then we have a chance against a Brechin side who have a lot to play for."

Brechin will be without Gerry McLauchlan, who has a calf injury.

Meanwhile, a lack of match fitness following a knee injury will keep Callum Tapping on the bench.

A point will ensure a second crack at promotion for the Glebe Park men, and manager Ray McKinnon said: "This is a huge game for us and a huge game for Stenhousemuir. We need to get a point, however we will be going out to win the game with a lot of confidence after wins over Morton, Stirling and Dunfermline.

"To reach the play-offs for a second time in three years would be a great achievement, however it will be tricky."
