Berts bidding to stay in hunt

Lochgelly Albert head for third-placed Armadale knowing that victory would do their promotion hopes a power of good. The sides are separated by five points but the Berts have two games in hand.

New signing Michael Perrie from Hill of Beath is included in the squad that is only missing Scott Renton and Ross Ogden.

Crossgates Primrose host Oakley United and will include new signing Cammy Smith in their squad.

The striker, who came through Hearts’ youth system, has been training with them for some time and previously had spells at Hill of Beath Hawthorn and Oakley.

Meanwhile, defender Matthew Christie and goalkeeper Ryan Adamson have left Humbug Park.

Other than suspended keeper Ross Wortley, the visitors have everyone available.

Rosyth welcome much-improved Harthill Royal who, after their remarkable 6-5 win over West Calder last week, are just three points behind their sixth-placed hosts.

Recs are without Mark McCulloch and Mark Morrison.

Something has to give when the bottom two meet at Denfield Park.

Kirkcaldy YM have lost all six home games, while Stoneyburn have returned pointless from their six away fixtures.

West Calder’s Hermand Park is frozen so their fixture with Edinburgh United has been reversed and is now being played at Patties Road in Edinburgh.
