Stranraer welcome back goalkeeper David Mitchell from suspension as they host a bottom-of-the-table Albion Rovers side that are looking to close the nine-point gap between the sides.

David MacGregor remains out for the Blues due to a knee injury, but Jamie Campbell should return after illness.

Stair Park manager Stephen Aitken said: ``Albion Rovers will be boosted by their midweek win over Stenhousemuir. I watched the game and it was a good performance and a deserved win.

``It has ensured that we know we cannot take them for granted.

``This is a very big weekend in the Second Division as a win could see us move up a place and into mid-table as well as getting back to a 12-point gap between us and Rovers.''

Albion have experienced defender Marvin Andrews available for the trip after work commitments kept them out of the 4-3 win over Stenhousemuir in midweek.

However, manager Todd Lumsden may be reluctant to change the team that achieved a first success in 10 games.

An ankle injury keeps Mick O'Byrne out and Tony Stevenson's knee problem means he is absent once again.

Lumsden said: ``Some people are billing this as a must-win game but I don't see it that way. It would be a great game to win but there is still a lot of football to be played.

``Our spirits remained high despite our poor run but we now have an added degree of confidence and we will look to keep that good feeling going at Stranraer.''
