Brechin City - Albion Rovers Match Preview

Brechin City will be looking to pick up their first win in five matches and edge themselves one step closer to one of the two remaining play-off places when Albion Rovers come calling at the Glebe tomorrow in the penultimate league match of the season.

City will be determined to end their home campaign with a vital three points against a Rovers side who still have an outside chance of making the play-offs themselves. If previous games between the sides are anything to go by it will certainly be a tight and closely fought affair. Both sides had a win apiece at the Exsel Group Stadium while Rovers prevailed in the only previous match at the Glebe in early December when a brace from Ross Stewart cancelled out Willie Dyer's opener.

As far as team news is concerned, Finn Graham will join suspended duo Graeme Smith and Dougie Hill on the sidelines as he serves a one-match suspension while Darren McCormack and Gareth Rodger are both ruled out through injury. However, Chris O'Neil who missed last week's 0-0 draw against Stranraer after being injured in the previous match at Alloa is fit again and looks odds on to find a starting place in the home defence.
