Berwick Rangers Team News:

Dwayne Coultress will be available after picking up a knock last week

There are some positives from the enforced lay-off caused by last week’s postponement in that it has allowed additional time for both Kevin Walker & Dwayne Coultress to recover from knocks, the pair available for tomorrow’s battle.

Calum Helm won’t feature but is progressing well, whilst Euan Bauld remains sidelied through a long-term back issue.

Both Steven Notman & Jonny Fairbairn will miss out through suspension, whilst Ewan McNeil is a doubt after picking up a knee injury during Thursday’s training session.

East Stirlingshire Team News:

The Shire have bolstered their ranks ahead of what is undoubtedly an important game for both sides, with former Clyde defender Ross Fisher hoping to add a solidity to Craig Tully’s side. Fisher had featured as a trialist for the away side in recent weeks and clearly did enough to earn a permanent deal.

The match will also see a familiar face return in the form of Andy Russell, who joined the club following his recent Shielfield release.

Scott Ferries also joined up with the squad after agreeing a loan deal from his parent club Peterhead.
