Arbroath v Stranraer



Arbroath will be missing suspended Kevin McMullen and Barry Sellars for the visit of Stranraer, with Bryan Scott expected to feature.
Manager John McGlashan may choose to rest some players ahead of the club's midweek play-off however.
Stranraer travel hoping that a first win of the season over Arbroath will give them a lift for the play-offs.
The game could be Stephen McConalogue's last for the club as his loan ends at the end of the season.



Arbroath to take it easy. What do we think?

St Johnstone v Livingston

St Johnstone will be without striker Andy Jackson who is suffering a mystery illness which led to him being taken off against Stirling in a neck brace.
Jody Morris and Goran Stanic are doubts for the home side.
Livingston manager Mark Proctor is set to use a host of youngsters for the season finale in Perth.
Young strikers Andy Halliday and Gordon Smith may be joined by 19-year-old midfielder David Sinclair in the Lions' line-up.

Livi playing youth? Thoughts?

Ayr United v Airdrie United
SFL

Veteran Ayr United midfielder Andy McLaren could be given his first start since returning from a cruciate ligament injury as Airdrie visit.

But McLaren is a booking away from a three-game ban. Meanwhile, youngsters Ally Woodburn and Lloyd Kinnaird are set to keep their places in the side.

Airdrie boss Kenny Black will rest some players as the second-top side prepare for the promotion play-offs.

Stephen McKenna is doubtful, while Steven McDougall is definitely missing.

Ayr are the kind of time I like to back against weaker opposition. Should be a good game no matter what happens. Thoughts on all three games to follow

[parksy]

plus by the talk of cowdens manager he is just thinking of these play offs next wed night......who could blame him......if queens park put any effort into this game they will win.......ive no doubt about that at all......

[AnothrSpacecat]

i just worry about the unrest at queens just now with their own injuries and with loads of players leaving this summer, nobody knows whats going on with them

[parksy]

bet 365 are not giving any asian handicap prices in the scottish leauges tomorrow......not so far anyway......i cant see them appearing now.......my local bookie is giving me 4-1 on east fife minus 2 goals.......and 10-1 minus 3 goals.......ill have a few quid on both them bets in the morning........i think the champions could do it......they are capable of doing it.......thats for sure......

[AnothrSpacecat]

will they want to though?

[parksy]

yea space cat who knows what way it will go tomorrow......queens have nothing to play for.....i know that.....but all im saying is if they put any effort into the game at all they will beat that very weak cowden team........

[parksy]

yea same goes for east fife space cat.....will they want to put the effort in?i dont know....ive took the chance they will mate......i think its worth the risk.......if they do put the effort in they will win very easy.......i think they will.....they will want them 90 POINTS......

[AnothrSpacecat]

its not enough to go on for a punt though, ive no idea where to look this weekend now ive read up on it all!

i may well wimp out and go for the super j's and ayr united double, but i want more than that, i want a punt ive got confidence in like the stirling game midweek or the ayr united game last week. nothing like that out there for me so far

[AnothrSpacecat]

i will give you that, east fife is a far superior bet than queens park!

from the bbc-

Willie Garner takes charge of Forfar for the visit of Dumbarton following Jim Moffat's dismissal last weekend.

Barry Donachie is suspended but Martyn Fotheringham returns, while Sandy Wood is doubtful for a match which could still see the Loons finish bottom.

Dumbarton boss Jim Chapman intends to use to several of his Under-17 youth team for the game against Forfar.

Andy Geggan is suspended for the trip although Fergus Tiernan returns to the squad following a bout of tonsillitis.

that cant be right?!
