SFL Previews: Dumbarton v Alloa | East Fife v Livingston | Albion Rovers v Queen's Park

Dumbarton v AlloaInterim Dumbarton manager Alan Adamson hopes the Second Division's bottom side will shake off the injury-time defeat to Stenhousemuir on Saturday in time for tonight's visit of Alloa.

Adamson said: "We were all really disappointed at the loss of such a late goal especially as we were on top of the game at that stage. Hopefully a sense of injustice will have us fired up."

Striker Pat Walker is in Adamson's squad after agreeing a deal until the end of the season following a trial period, but Alan Cook and Craig McLeish are both injury doubts.

Alloa are equally focused on picking up the points tonight, and manager Allan Maitland said: "This is a must-win game for us as our home form has let us down. We need to pick up maximum points in our away games to get our promotion push going again.

"But Dumbarton have turned into a bogey team for us and we have not beaten them in four games."

Midfielder Brown Ferguson is out injured and Maitland also has a doubt over striker Stuart Noble.

East Fife v Livingston

Striker Jim Hamilton is in line to make his debut for his 12th senior club following his move to East Fife after just five months at Arbroath.

The 34-year-old is included in John Robertson's plans as the Fifers get back to league affairs for the first time since 11 December.

Defender Steven Campbell is out through injury and Robertson said: "Livingston are coming here on the back of a bad result at Peterhead and that makes them very difficult opponents."

Title-chasing Livingston will be keen to bounce back from that 3-0 reversal at Peterhead and manager Gary Bollan said: "We have to ensure that we turn our possession into goals and keep things tighter at the back."

Bollan will be without striker Robbie Winters, who is banned following his sending off at the weekend, with defender Cameron MacDonald and striker Marc McNulty out through injury.

Albion Rovers v Queen's Park

Victory for Rovers tonight would put them within a point of the top of the Third Division table and manager Paul Martin says his strikeforce must stop trying to walk the ball into the net.

The Coatbridge side went down 2-0 to Montrose on Saturday and Martin said: "Too often they were trying to take it round the keeper."

Rovers are again without centre back Todd Lumsden and striker Marc Pollock, but they welcome back midfielder Chris Boyle.

Queen's Park, who lost 2-1 at Stranraer at the weekend, recall Jamie Brough, who is free of suspension, to their squad for tonight's game.
