TYREMAN PREMIER DIVISION DALBEATTIE STAR manager Paul McGinley has been reasonably pleased with his side's displays in their first season in the top flight. Central defender Paul Laurie is suspended for the visit of EASTHOUSES LILY, who are on a high after their 3-0 mid-week win against Annan Athletic secured their Premier Division position. Stuart Love returns after suspension.

LOTHIAN THISTLE had a dramatic late victory against Edinburgh City on Wednesday night thanks to a goal from Mark Lothian. The home side require one point from their remaining four games to confirm their place in the Premier Division and manager Tam Shields has a full squad available. Visitors PRESTON ATHLETIC are still determined to finish in fourth place and have Chris Barton available after missing out last Saturday.

TYREMAN FIRST DIVISION

BERWICK RANGERS RESERVES have Alan Jess suspended for the visit of PEEBLES, who must win their four remaining games to clinch the First Division Championship. Paul Greenhill and Michael Osbourne are in top form and their experience should be too much for Berwick.

CIVIL SERVICE STROLLERS need to win to have an outside chance of promotion and manager Keith Stewart admits he needs to find goals from somewhere in his team. Tony Currie and Daryl Devlin look to be his most likely candidates against a KELSO UNITED team which is looking for a top-half finish to the season.

HAWICK ROYAL ALBERT have Malcolm Cooper suspended for the visit of second-bottom EDINBURGH ATHLETIC, who have Marc Scott back after his own suspension.

VALE OF LEITHEN striker Aaron Somerville notched four goals in Vale's 8-1 hammering of Hawick in midweek and boss Lindsay Rathie is looking for a winning end to the season with four league games left. Visitors ORMISTON sit bottom of the table and have Craig Fisher and Alfonso De Gaetano suspended.

In the Borders, EYEMOUTH UNITED have Duncan Aitchison and Michael Wales out while GALA FAIRYDEAN have Jay Wilson out due to suspension.
