Double boost for Blair

Blairgowrie boss Mark Brash is able to recall Andy Murison and Gordon Pirie for their game at home to Violet but Robbie Hood misses out due to work commitments.

New Violet manager John Dunn has completed his backroom team ahead of the trip north and has a full playing squad available.

Ben Fraser is the only absentee for Coupar Angus as they take on Lochee Harp at home.

Michael Gormley’s Harp are confident of doing the double over their hosts, though they travel without Jay Smart, Sam Mcdonald and Lewis Young. Sam Hodgson returns.

East Craigie were unlucky to lose 3-2 to North End last time out.

Sam Reekie faces a late fitness test ahead of their game against Arbroath Vics.

The visitors are still missing a handful of players and must rely on the same squad that drew with Harp last week.

Kinnoull got themselves back in the promotion fight with a 1-0 win at Scone Thistle last week and manager Alan Cameron is looking for his side to repeat that form at home to Lochore Welfare.

Cameron adds Jordan Davidson to last week’s squad but it may be too early for the long-term casualty to return.

Liam Valentine and Scott Small are missing from Andy Healy’s Welfare squad.

Newburgh are tasked with being the club that prove to be unlucky for promotion chasing North End at East Shore Park.

North End have won 12 games on the bounce so defeat would be an unlucky 13. Ross Lunan’s Dokens are without Michael Stewart but are otherwise at full strength.

Sean Whitworth is suspended for Scone Thistle as the Perth side take on strugglers Forfar Albion at home.

Jags boss Derek Lawson is able to add Craig Mitchell and Charlie Fertacz to the squad as they look to bounce back from last week’s derby defeat. Albion, meanwhile, add new signing Lee Gallacher to the pool of players.
