Midfielder Derek Ure continues to be ruled out with, Alex Walker and Craig Donaldson doubtful because of injury. Paul Weaver is struggling because of illness and captain Craig Tully and Darren Kelly are expected to start on the bench.

Gayfield boss Paul Sheerin said: "Our lengthy injury list is clearing up and we are looking stronger, but this is the type of game that you have to win if you want to do well."

Striker Ross Chisholm is available after suspension but midfielder Jordyn Sheerin and striker Robbie Ross are out injured.
