After three away wins on the trot, we play our first home game of 2020 when Elgin City visit Forthbank on Saturday.
Team news: Goalkeepers Blair Currie and Cammy Binnie are both out injured so on-loan Rangers keeper Nicky Hogarth will make his second appearance and Owen Stott is again likely to be on the bench as a trialist. Left-back Jordan Lowdon is a long-term absentee and midfielder Kevin Nicoll is set to miss out after going off at Annan with a foot injury. Cammy Thomson could return to the squad after sitting out recent matches with an ankle knock.
Opponents: Elgin City lost 3-2 at home to Stenhousemuir last week, having won 4-0 at Annan a fortnight ago. Gavin Price’s men are just a point below us in the table. Shane Sutherland, who will join Inverness CT in the summer, has scored 23 goals in all competitions for the Black & Whites, with Kane Hester on 15.
Past meetings: Our first league win of this season was 1-0 against Elgin at Forthbank on September 14 when Josh Peters scored the only goal. The same player marked his return from injury with a last-minute winner in a 2-1 victory at Borough Briggs on November 30.
