Reidford back for Albion

Bottom-side Stirling host Dunfermline and they have goalkeeper Callum Reidford available after suspension.

However, Greg Paterson may keep his place after the Forthbank men won for only the second time this season against Stenhousemuir last weekend.

Lewis Small has returned to Falkirk at the end of his loan but Scott Shepherd has moved in the opposite direction.

Stirling are missing the injured Steven Doris (groin) and Darren Smith (knee), with Graham Weir a doubt.

Assistant manager Martyn Corrigan said: "It was great that the improvement the manager Stuart McLaren and I have seen since was rewarded with a win.

"We need to improve again to beat Dunfermline."

Dunfermline add new signing Jim Paterson to the squad, while Andy Geggan is out through suspension and Ryan Williamson continues to be missing due to a knee injury.

Recently-appointed manager John Potter said: "We have been doing well in games until we get into the final third of the pitch and that is frustrating.

"I am looking for that to be improved on in this game, however I recognise that Stirling have performed better in recent weeks under their new manager.

"They will take confidence from winning last weekend so we need to ensure that if we are on top of the game we score."
