Stirling Albion vs Stranraer preview - Stirling wait on duo

Posted Friday, March 06, 2015 by PA

Bottom of the table Stirling are hoping to have both Darren Smith and Graham Weir available to face deposed leaders Stranraer after injury.

Steven Doris remains out with a stomach muscle problem with the Forthbank men looking to build on a good performance against Morton in midweek.

Assistant manager Martyn Corrigan said: "It sounds crazy after you have lost 4-0 but we matched Morton for most of the game. We had as many chances as them but the key difference was that they were clinical.

"If we can play like that again and turn chances into goals we can beat Stranraer."

Stair Park boss Stephen Aitken has added Scott Rumsby and Daniel Stoney to the squad after the duo returned to training this week.

Aitken is looking for his men to shrug off the disappointment of losing to Stenhousemuir in midweek and get their title push back on track.

He said: "It was a disappointing performance compared to the one we had put in for the 5-1 win over Dunfermline last weekend.

"We lost to a horrible deflected goal but winning at Stirling would be the perfect response. We will need to work hard as Stirling have made it difficult in the games between us so far this season."
