After three away games in a row, we make a return to Palmerston tomorrow when we play host to Stenhousemuir.
The Warriors currently sit top of the table on 21 points, five points ahead of ourselves. Gary Naysmith’s side have been in good form and are unbeaten in their last four games with three wins and a draw. While we go into the game on the back of a terrific performance and good win over Hamilton last week.
Earlier in the season our game ended in a goal-less draw at Ochilview. It was a fair result with Stenhousemuir starting both halves well but we finished them the stronger side.
Ahead of the match, Manager Peter Murphy said “Every one of the players gave their all-last week against Hamilton and showed we are a good side. The challenge for us all is to show that it isn’t wasn’t a one off and we meet that level of performance week in and week out. This weekend we face a side who are top of the league and are full of confidence. It was tough game at their place in August and I don’t expect any different this time round. The supporters were excellent at Broadwood and backed us from start to finish, it made a difference so hopefully we will get that again tomorrow.”

We would like to remind supporters that letting off smoke devices/ pyrotechnics is a criminal offence, and anyone found doing so will be referred to Police Scotland. Not only is it against the law, it is also extremely dangerous and a health hazard to other spectators.
