After last weeks win over Albion Rovers at Central Park we play the first of two successive away games on Saturday afternoon when we meet Stenhousemuir at Ochilview Park with a 3 p.m. kick off.

 

It will be our first visit to play the Warriors at Ochilview since Boxing Day 2011 when we ran out 2-0 winners thanks to goals from Greg Stewart and Lewis Coult.

 

Craig Johnston serves the second game of his suspension although new signing from Hamilton Accies Aldin El Zubaidi will come into Colin Nish's squad.

 

 

After two league defeats from Stranraer and Dunfermline we got our first win of the season last weekend courtesy of an early goal from Greig Spence. We currently sit in ninth place with three points.

 

 

The Warriors go into the match a point ahead of us. Last Saturday they went down to a 4-1 defeat at league leaders Forfar with former Cowden captain Jon Robertson getting their goal.

 

In the opening league game they drew 2-2 at Peterhead after being 2-0 up after ten minutes but after one time Cowden loanee Stuart Malcolm was sent off early in the second half they were pegged back and had to settle for a point.

 

Their other league game so far saw a 2-1 home win over Airdrionians thanks to a 90th minute winner. They so far have a 100% record at Ochilview having beaten East Stirlingshire 3-2 (Shire were the home side) and Raith Rovers 2-0 in the Petrofac Training Cup.

 

In the League Cup the lost 2-0 at Stranraer.
