Paul Sheerin has brought Jack MacKenzie back into the side after the left back was cup tied last weekend. He replaces another youngster Calvin Ramsay. Matty Kennedy comes in for Ethan Ross. Fraser Hornby is fit enough for a place on the bench but Ash Taylor misses out with an injury. Greg Leigh, Michael Devlin and Ryan Hedges are still on the long term injured list and Callum Hendry can’t play against his parent club.
