Alloa Athletic vs Hibernian FC preview - Marr fit for Alloa
Posted Friday, August 29, 2014 by PA
Alloa defender Jason Marr has been passed fit to give manager Barry Smith a full squad to choose from for the first league meeting with Hibernian since 1933.
The Wasps got their first points on board last weekend with a 3-0 success at Cowdenbeath and manager Barry Smith is looking for his men to build on that success against the Edinburgh club.
Smith said: "We took our chances and kept a clean sheet away from home so it was a good day's work. Hibs are a good side and like all the games this season it is a big one.
"Hibs deserve respect but we should not be overawed."
Hibernian welcome back Lewis Stevenson and Liam Craig from suspension.
Defender Paul Hanlon is set to miss out again with a knee problem.
Head coach Alan Stubbs insists there will be no excuses for his players on the Recreation Park artificial pitch as they look to bounce back from consecutive league defeats.
Stubbs said: "We are still playing with a round ball and on a surface that is flat, so there are no excuses."
