Scone at full strength for visit of the Bleachers

Leaders Scone Thistle entertain Luncarty in a Perthshire derby today.

Thistle are at full strength for the clash with the Bleachers, who are at full strength with Darren Kelly, Ross Mitchell and Neil Ritchie all available again.

Blairgowrie have been on a poor run recently but Kirrie Thistle boss Jim Finlayson reckons the rivalry that exists between the two means this encounter will be a hard-fought contest.

Thistle have a full squad to choose from, but Blair are without Mark Brash and Greg McDonald is doubtful

Third-placed Thornton Hibs have Harp as their guests and the Fifers, who are unbeaten in 12 outings, will be very much favourites.

The Beechwood men are without the injured quartet of Darryl Gowans, Joe Colquhoun, Sam McDonald and Gordon Ramsay, while Derryn Kesson and Mark Kelly are suspended.

Kinnoull head to lowly Forfar Albion and should come away with the three points. However Mark McDonald and Greg Whyte are out through injury and David Gray is doubtful.

Albion are expected to be along the same lines as last week when they drew with Coupar Angus.

Kinnoull have placed striker Gordon Norrie on the transfer list. All inquiries regarding the player should be directed to chairman Chris Jones on 07940 814 370.

Newburgh, who are without a win since before Christmas, welcome an East Craigie side full of confidence after an eight-match unbeaten run.

However, the last time the clubs met the Shipbuilders edged a thriller by the odd goal in seven.

Graeme McLeish is the visitors’ only absentee, while Liam Keller is suspended for Burgh.

Jake Tulloch is the only absentee for Coupar Angus as they entertain Arbroath Vics. The Angus side have Lee Jones missing, while Mark Walker, Connor Gray and Gary Warren all face fitness tests.

Brechin Vics hope to return to winning ways at home to bottom-of-the-table Lochore Welfare with Adam Renilson’s return a boost for the hosts.
