Spiders’ incentive

IN the Premier League, Downfield head for Dalkeith knowing a win would see them leapfrog Tayport into fourth place in the table.

The Spiders have lost only twice this season and look a good bet to consolidate themselves in the league after winning promotion last season.

With tomorrow’s opponents still looking for a first home victory of the season, the Dundee side could be good value to return with three points in the bag.

Manager Paul Marr is also in the happy position of being able to name a full-strength pool.

Violet will be hoping last week’s seven-goal romp against Forfar Albion in the GA Cup gives them the boost to break their duck at home to Bathgate.

They will again be without Aaron Kane, who joins Barry Wilson, Dave O’Neil and Scott Tovey on the treatment table.

Second-placed Forfar West End go to secondbottom Armadale Thistle.

West End player/boss Daryl McKenzie expects to have recovered from injury and has Liam Godfrey available again. Graeme Hart and Craig Stephen miss out.

Disappointed not to take something from last week’s game at Forfar West End, St Andrews have Arniston Rangers as guests.

Included in the squad is Jordan Austin, who has been brought in on loan from East Fife.

The striker is in the squad but boss Ian Barrett has two un-named injury doubts.
