Bollan glad to let players loose after long lay-off

LIVINGSTON v EAST STIRLINGSHIRE

Leaders Livingston take the field against second-placed East Stirling for their first game since 20 February, which was against the same opponents with Gary Bollan's men winning 2-0.

Livingston's defence will need reorganised with both Cameron McDonald and Jason Talbot missing through suspension.

Bollan said: "It has been a bit frustrating having to have to wait for a game after doing so well in our last outing."

For East Stirlingshire, defenders Craig Tully and David King continue to be absent because of injury, although Paul Weaver returns after suspension.

ALBION ROVERS v BERWICK RANGERS

Albion Rovers are in good shape ahead of their crunch clash with Berwick Rangers – a win would lift the Coatbridge side within seven points of the Borderers in fourth place with three games in hand.

Midfielders Paul Tyrrel and Stephen McKeown have both been passed fit after injury with striker Marc McCusker available after getting the all clear following his recent concussion. Midfielder Chris Boyle will undergo a late fitness test with manager Paul Martin already ruling out the striking pair of Marc Pollock and David MacFarlane through injury.

Midfielder Paul Currie is available for Berwick after suspension with only full-back Steve Notman a doubt.

ELGIN v STRANRAER

Stranraer manager Keith Knox is looking for better from his players after they went down 2-0 at home to bottom side Montrose at the weekend.

"We need a win to get our hopes of a play-off place going again," said Knox, who has a full squad to choose from.

FORFAR ATHLETIC v QUEEN'S PARK

Forfar welcome back Stephen Tulloch to their defence following suspension with the Station Park side looking to get back on the rails after a disappointing 4-0 defeat by East Stirling at the weekend. Left back Iain Campbell remains out through a ban
