We return home tomorrow as we continue our push for success in league one. It’s 3rd against 4th as we host fellow promotion hopefuls, Alloa Athletic. 

The previous two games between the sides this season have gone in our favour.  Back in October under the Palmerston floodlights and in front of the BBC Alba cameras Mikey Hewitt secured three points with the only goal of the game in the 93rd minute.  While in December at the Indodrill Stadium, Kurtis Guthrie gave us a 12th minute lead before Liam Smith made sure of the points fourteen minutes from time as we came away with a 2-0 victory.  

We currently sit five points ahead of tomorrow’s visitors albeit they have a game in hand. 

Ahead of the match, Manager Peter Murphy said “The way things turned out at Cove last week a draw was probably a fair result, although I do think if we had been more clinical in the early part of the game then things might have been different.  But it is another point on the board away from home, and it keeps the unbeaten run going.  This weekend we are back at Palmerston, we always feel confident at our own place but Alloa will be full of confidence too, they sit just behind us in the table and will want to pick up as many points as well.  The players are playing for each other and the club and we are on a good run of form; it’s about keeping up the momentum especially at this stage of the season.”

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. All bags will be searched and spectators presenting themselves for entry may also be subject to search. Spectators who refuse to be searched by stewards will be denied entry to the ground.
