Cowdenbeath vs Stranraer - Trio set to make debuts for Cowdenbeath

Posted Saturday, January 23, 2016 by PA

Cowdenbeath will have new recruit Grant Adam in goal against Stranraer as Jamie Sneddon is struggling with a thigh strain.

Two other new signings - Declan McDaid, who is on loan from Partick Thistle, and Ross Caldwell, who recently left Ayr - are also in line for debuts but Kyle Miller is out with a foot injury.

Manager Colin Nish said: "Winning this game could put us into the top half of the table. However, it will not be easy. Stranraer have a terrific away record and are the only side to have beaten us at home.

"Hopefully we can gain a bit of revenge for that."

Stranraer are again without goalkeeper David McGurn, who has a foot injury.

Manager Brian Reid is also unable to call upon player/ assistant manager Lee Mair (groin) and Chris Aitken (calf).

Reid is looking for his side to bounce back from their 5-1 defeat by Peterhead last weekend, and he said: "I am hoping that last Saturday was a hangover from the Celtic cup tie and we will be much more like ourselves at Central Park.

"I will make changes but I will not be making wholesale changes as I believe that the players are determined to put things right by winning at Cowdenbeath."
