Queen's Park vs Albion Rovers preview - Queens have injury trouble
Posted Wednesday, May 11, 2011 by PA
Queen's Park host Albion Rovers with Jamie Brough, Paul Harkins, Steven Baillie, Michael O'Hara and David Murray all unavailable through injury.
The Spiders reached the Play-offs last season, but they fell at the first hurdle after losing 4-0 to Arbroath in the first leg and Speirs is determined that there will be no repeat.
Head coach Gardner Speirs said: "Last year did not go so well but this is a different occasion with different personnel and we will be looking to make more of an impact.
"After a disappointing start to the league season we have done well to turn things around but we do not want to stop now."
Albion Rovers have been dealt a blow ahead of their trip to Queen's Park after on-loan Motherwell striker Steven Lawless was ruled out with a thigh strain.
Manager Paul Martin is still waiting on news of Steven Canning (hand injury) and Chris Boyle (hamstring).
Yet striker John Gemmell is fit enough to be considered for a starting role after several substitute appearances.
Martin said: "Not having Steven Lawless available is a disappointment but we will just have to get on with things.
"We are excited to be in the play-offs for the first time and determined to make sure we do the best that we can.
"Two-legged games are new to us but we are looking to have another two-legged game next week."
