Crossgates Primrose will be looking to bounce back from last week’s 4-1 defeat at Penicuik Athletic and climb away from the lower reaches of mid-table in the Premier Division.

Alan Campbell’s men take on Whitehill Welfare at Humbug Park.

Campbell expects to have the same squad that travelled to Penicuik last weekend.

Jeanfield Swifts have won just three games in the Premier Division from the nine played, and only one of those has been at Riverside.

Ross Gunnion’s outfit will be looking to kick-start a disappointing season with three points from the visit of Blackburn United to Perth this weekend.

Gunnion is without Fraser Smith and Mark Smith but hopes to add a trialist to his squad.

Dundonald Bluebell boss Lee Dair will be looking for a change of luck as Bluebell welcome Newtongrange Star to Moorside Park.

Dair has brought in Kevin Fotheringham as his assistant. The duo go into their first game without Matty Gay and Stuart Walton, but hope to have Lewis Mackenzie back from injury.

St Andrews United’s game at Ballast Park against Inverkeithing Hillfield Swifts last week was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

They will try to build on the 8-1 thrashing of Glenrothes as they take on bottom club Craigroyston at Barnetts Park.

Hill of Beath face a tough afternoon as they welcome Lowland League side Cumbernauld Colts to Kiers Park in the SFA South Region Challenge Cup.

The Haws boss expects to have the same squad that beat Musselburgh Athletic 3-0 last week.

Kelty Hearts are also in South Region Challenge Cup action as they welcome Stirling University to New Central Park.

The Lowland League leaders took all three points from last week’s visit to The K Park against reigning champions East Kilbride, and manager Barry Ferguson will be throwing his full attention at progressing from one of the most prestigious cup competitions in the senior non-league set-up.

Ferguson is expected to have the same squad that travelled to East Kilbride.
