Millar boost for Falkirk

Posted Saturday, August 21, 2010 by PA

Falkirk have a full-strength squad ahead of the visit of Stirling Albion.

Mark Millar is available after a one-match ban so boss Steven Pressley has no injury or suspension worries.

Pressley is looking to add goals to his side's previous performance against the Forthbank side.

He said: "We played really well in the ALBA Cup tie and although we were beaten on penalties I was pleased with how we had performed.

"All that was missing was a goal and we will certainly be looking to put that right in this game."

The Bairns won at Ross County last weekend and Pressley added: "It was a strong performance at Dingwall last week and we need to build on that by taking another three points from this game."

Stirling Albion boss John O'Neill will not be able to confirm his line up until a couple of hours before kick-off.

Ross Forsyth has been ruled out through injury and midfielder Chris Aitken is suspended while defenders Brian Allison, Stewart Devine, Greig McDonald and winger Andy Gibson will all undergo fitness tests.

On a positive note, international clearance has now been received to allow recent signings from the Reunion Islands Jeremy Judith, Yohan Mathis and Jerome Heeking to be added to O'Neill's travelling party.

The Forthbank boss hoping to add a loan signing from a SPL club as well and said: "Whatever side we put out will take confidence from our result against Falkirk in the ALBA Challenge Cup."
