Kelty every chance of making it a perfect 10

SUPER LEAGUE

KELTY HEARTS hope to make it a perfect 10 when they welcome Newtongrange Star to New Central Park.

Their visitors have only avoided defeat twice in eight matches, and made a surprise Junior Cup exit at the hands of Irvine Vics last week.

LOCHEE UNITED are away to Camelon, who have won two of their three home games.

Darren Clarkson and Connor Birse again miss out, and Bryan Deasley is a major injury doubt.

BROUGHTY ATHLETIC take on Penicuik Athletic at Whitton Park.

A fifth successive league win, with Bonnyrigg on Scottish Cup business, would put them into second place. Their Lothian guests only trail their hosts by three points.

With the squad rotated last Saturday to give some fringe players much-needed game time, and winning 5-1 at Brechin Vics, gaffer Keith Gibson has food for thought as to his selection.

Grant Lawson and Jake Mair have been ruled out, and Jamie Winter faces a late fitness test.

Prestonfield stages a mid-table clash between Linlithgow Rose and HILL OF BEATH, both of whose form has been up and down.

Haws are unbeaten there in their last three visits, and Rose have made an unsually poor start to the season.

Adam Moffat is serving the last of a three-match ban.

At Moorside Park, promoted pair DUNDONALD BLUEBELL and JEANFIELD SWIFTS go head to head.

The pair had contrasting fortunes in the Junior Cup last week. The Fifers, who lost at Ardrossan, are without Ross Drummond, Mark Forbes and Scott Lawrie but welcome back Jason Quinn.

Their visitors had a win over Lugar Boswell Thistle.

Bottom side CARNOUSTIE travel to Faulhouse United, the team immediately above them.

Victory will guarantee they get off the bottom, so it promises to be a fiercely contested encounter.

John Roberts and Roddy Black are still sidelined and, after being injured in the warm-up last week, Danny Millar is a doubt.

PREMIER LEAGUE

Second-from-top FORFAR

WEST END travel to Armadale Thistle, who are just one place off bottom.

West End boss Daryl McKenzie expects to return after injury, and Liam Godfrey is also available again, but Graeme Hart and Craig Stephen miss out.

DOWNFIELD head for Dalkeith in the knowledge that victory would take them above Tayport and into fourth place.

With their hosts yet to win at home, the Spiders must be quietly confident of collecting three points, especially as they have a full squad.

GLENROTHES are boosted by John Martin’s return from injury for their trip to Tranent.

However, Calum Kinnes and Craig Wallace are on holiday. In addition to three long-term casualties, Ross Mutch, on loan from East Fife, is unavailable.

Disappointed at coming away from last week’s game at Forfar West End empty-handed,

ST ANDREWS welcome Arniston Rangers.

Included in the squad is striker Jordan Austin, a loanee signing from East Fife, but boss Ian Barrett has two unnamed injury doubts.

The statistics strongly suggest KENNOWAY STAR HEARTS should beat visitors Whitburn.

While the Fifers have won all four home games, the Burnie have lost all four on the road.

But Treaton boss Eck Davidson will be warning his troops against complacency and is without suspended Gav Gray.

VIOLET go into their home game with Bathgate Thistle still seeking their first three points.

Hopefully, last week’s sevengoal rout of Forfar Albion will have instilled confidence.

The Pansies are still far from full strength with Barry Wilson, Dave O’Neil, Scott Tovey and Aaron Kane all absentees.

GA ENGINEERING CUP

TAYPORT take on Coupar Angus at Foxhall Park in a firstround GA Engineering Cup tie.

The Fifers are firm favourites to progress at the expense of the North League side.

However, they might be without Stuart Walton as he will undergo a late fitness test.
