MacDonald blow for Stirling
Posted Saturday, October 16, 2010 by PA
Defender Greig MacDonald is the only absentee for Stirling as they host troubled Dundee.
And manager John O'Neill has been left concentrating only on his own side this week as he was not sure what personnel would be featuring for opponents Dundee.
"There has obviously been a lot going on at Dundee and I have not been able to work out what shape their team will be," he said.
"We have simply concentrated on what Stirling Albion will do and we will be going out to pick up where we left off against Raith Rovers a fortnight ago."
The Forthbank side won 2-0 that day and O'Neill added: "That result moved us up to eighth place and that has given everyone a lift here and the players have enjoyed training over the past two weeks."
Dundee's interim management team of Barry Smith assisted by players Rab Douglas and Matt Lockwood will need to piece together a team from what remains at Dens Park after drastic cuts following the appointment of administrator Bryan Jackson.
As well as the management team of Gordon Chisholm and Billy Dodds nine players - Paul McHale, Eric Paton, Mickael Antoine-Curier, Colin McMenamin, Scott Fox, Dominic Shimmin, Charlie Grant, Brian Kerr and Njazi Kuqi - have been released.
As well as Douglas and Lockwood, 10 senior players have been kept on with Gary Irvine, Craig Forsyth, Sean Higgins, Stephen O'Donnell, Rhys Weston, Gary Harkins, Leigh Griffiths, Nicky Riley, Craig McKeown and Kyle Benedictus all available for selection.
The on-loan pair of Jamie Adams and David Wittenveen are also included for the trip to Forthbank.
