Sandy has a few niggles to the team to contend with for our fixture against a team we know very well, East Fife. Neil McGowan is suffering with the reoccurrence of his shoulder injury sustained against Queen of The South and of course we still await the arrival of Willie McLaren and Martin Hardie.
I would expect the team to begin the way it finished on sat although I may be proved wrong as Docherty will be almost match fit and could fit in to right back and Kevin Christies suspension ended on Saturday. Then again Willie Wilson at right back did a good job so does he need replacing?
The team need to focus now and make sure we get through the first round of this competition we did well at the weekend against St Johnstone but now is the time to concentrate.
