Match Preview: Stranraer - Brechin
Soccernet.com

Stranraer manager Billy McLaren is hoping for another impressive result from his side when they play Brechin City in the first round of the CIS Cup.

The Stair Park side claimed their first win of the season against Brechin last week when they notched up a 3-1 victory.

Only Stephen Marshall is set to miss out, with a shoulder injury, and McLaren is feeling optimistic.

He said: "Hopefully last week's result paves the way for another good result in the cup. But I'm sure this game will be equally, if not more, difficult than the last one."

Brechin manager Dick Campbell could be without four players for the game.

Chris Templeman is doubtful with a thigh strain and Greg McCulloch, Derek Clark and Gregor McKechnie are all still sidelined.

Brechin were defeated 3-1 by Stranraer in the league last week - handing them their first win of the season.

Campbell said: "It's certainly a chance to make amends for that result. There was nothing between the two teams in the last game and this is a cup tie so we know what we have to do."
