Duo boost struggling Stirling

Bottom-of-the-table Stirling can add the free-from-suspension Willie Robertson and fit-again Dale Fulton to their squad when they host Morton.

Darren Lee Smith is out after undergoing knee surgery and Lewis Coult remains unavailable due to an ankle problem, with the Forthbank men looking for their first home win of the season.

Assistant manager Martyn Corrigan said: "We were almost over the finishing line last weekend in terms of winning, but we lost an injury-time goal.

"We are improving week-on-week and hopefully that improvement will see us get three points from Morton."

Morton boss Jim Duffy is without the injured Nico Caraux (groin), Reece Hands (pelvis), Jon Scullion (knee) and David McNeil (back) as he looks for his side to get back to winning ways.

Duffy said: "We played well in the first half against Peterhead last week but never took chances when we were on top.

"We lost a bad goal at the start of the second and never recovered from it. We became too hasty in our play and rushed things and hopefully the players have learned from that.

"Stirling are an improving side but if we turn up and play the game like we can then we will win."
