Shipbuilders keen to continue progress

IN the North League, East Craigie face Kirrie at Craigie Park.

A win would upgrade the Shipbuilders to serious promotion contenders.

Mark Middleton and Andy McDonald are nursing injuries but Nik Mann and Lee Maloney are set to return.

Thistle boss Jim Finlayson sticks with the same squad that thrashed second-from-top Thornton last week.

Harp are at home Newburgh.

Harp manager Michael Gormley is struggling with six players, Darren Brown, Gordon Ramsay, James Cochrane, Joe Colquhoun, Sam McDonald and Mark Kelly, ruled out.

Coupar Angus, at home to Kinnoull, are without Martin to McCabe. Kris Morrice and Joe Grimes have been transfer listed. Enquiries to Billy McGregor (07790 770692).

The incentive for Kinnoull is victory will see them go top. With Greg Whyte and Jordan Davidson nursing injuries, manager Alan Cameron makes a late selection.

Promotion contenders Scone and Thornton meet at Farquharson Park. Gary Fergus is Thistle’s only doubt.

Brechin Vics are at home to Forfar Albion.

Vics are still without several of their squad but welcome back Sam Wood and Ryan Young. They expect to include a trialist. Albion are again minus Matthew Muir.

Arbroath Vics face a Lochore side without Connor Gray.
