Berwick V Montrose at Shielfield Park - Match Preview




Borderers look up without Brydon

Berwick will be without defender Dougie Brydon again as they bid to climb the Scottish League Two table with a home win against Montrose.


Brydon is still struggling with a pelvic problem, while goalkeeping coach Gary O'Connor will continue on the bench as Billy Bald has undergone surgery on a leg injury.


The fixture was originally scheduled for last week, but was called off shortly before kick-off due a floodlight failure at Shielfield.


Berwick boss Ian Little said: "Our second-bottom position is not a fair reflection of how well we are playing.


"We are carrying no good fortune at all, but if we get a fair break against Montrose we can win."


Montrose can climb up to second place with a win and manager Stuart Garden has delayed naming his team until Ricky McIntosh undergoes a fitness test on a hamstring problem.


Alan Campbell remains sidelined with an ankle injury and Lloyd Young is missing through work commitments.


Garden said: "We have a huge incentive to win this game as would climb three places.


"We would be second, just a point behind the leaders and that is good going.


"But it won't be easy as Berwick will be out to make up for what must have been a sore defeat at Annan on Saturday."
