Oliver gives Booth a lift

Stenhousemuir have on-loan Hearts striker Gary Oliver available to face Dunfermline after a hip problem.

Manager Scott Booth's only injury concern is striker Martin Grehan, but he does however have major concerns over his side's defending.

Booth said: "We're playing well in games, but the individual mistakes getting made are tough to take.

"They are happening too often and we are getting punished severely for them. We need to cut them out of our game.

"We have the players that can score goals and if we keep the back door shut then we will put more points on board and climb the table."

Second-placed Dunfermline will add skipper Josh Falkingham to their squad for the first time in a fortnight after he had his tonsils removed, but Lewis Martin misses out as he is on international duty with Scotland Under-19s.

Ryan Wallace has started his recovery from his pelvic problem, but a comeback is some time away.

Manager Jim Jefferies said: "We are playing well just now but the one thing that is missing is turning our superiority into goals.

"If we get on top we should score against Stenhousemuir and then look to get to get the game killed off as soon as possible.

"If we are more ruthless we can pick up the three points."
