Must-win encounter for Moorside men

-

Dundonald Bluebell host title favourites Bonnyrigg Rose in a must-win affair for the Moorside men.

Adam Moffat is unavailabl­e and star striker Lewis McKenzie is doubtful.

Hill of Beath also welcome strong title contenders in Linlithgow Rose, having consistent­ly been a thorn in their side.

Rikki Dair and Andy Harrower are again missing and Lee Reid starts a month’s loan with Lochore.

Seeking a third successive win, Broughty Athletic face Penicuik. Their hosts went top last week, have lost just one home game, and defeated the Fed 4-1 at Whitton Park.

They have a couple of injury worries after last Saturday’s win over Kennoway but gaffer Jamie McCunnie is optimistic both will feature.

Bottom of the table Forfar West End host Sauchie, who are on a roll of three wins.

There is a new face in the squad, manager Daryl McKenzie signing defender Mark Ogg from Tayport. He debuted in a friendly against East Craigie on Monday. The 5-0 win was mar red by Craig Bell rupturing an achilles.

Jeanfield Swifts host Camelon. The absence of Robbie Holden, Rhys Davies, Jamie Reid and Chris Scott was a factor in last week’s 6-0 defeat at Sauchie.

Player/manager Ross Gunnion has a stronger squad available this week.

Without a win in their last eight outings Kennoway Star Hearts face third-placed Broxburn at Treaton Park. Hearts’ hopes of survival are looking increasing­ly slim, and boss Craig Johnstone is without Ross Mutch and Mark Partridge.
