Peterhead V Stenhousemuir - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.Spitting Scott bannedPeterhead defender Scott Ross will miss out against Stenhousemuir after he was handed a two-match retrospective ban for spitting at Rangers player Nicky Law last Sunday.Steven Noble is ruled out with a hamstring injury and Ally Gilchrist is an injury doubt.However, Nicky Riley returns after attending a family wedding.Manager Jim McInally said: "I watched Stenhousemuir down at Stranraer last weekend and they look a much more experienced side than the one they had last season. We are a bit short of numbers in defence, but are stronger up front with the return of Nicky, so we will be attacking a lot."The Warriors head north without Mark Gilhaney who has a groin injury, and Anthony Marenghi, who has an ankle problem.Manager Brown Ferguson said: "We may have lost to Stranraer, however the players deserve great credit for the way that they competed for everything."We were undone at a set piece and then lost an injury-time goal as we chased an equaliser so we can actually take a lot of heart from the performance."Peterhead will change their tactics greatly for this one compared to how they faced Rangers last week. They were excellent at shutting them down, however I expect a much more open approach in this game."
