Stranraer v Brechin City Match Preview
Brechin City will be determined to bounce right back from the disappointment of Tuesday night's Petrofac Training Cup defeat from Peterhead when they make the long journey south west to face Stranraer at Stair Park tomorrow.
The City players will be hoping that they can recapture the form that they showed in their previous league encounters at Dunfermline and against Stenhousemuir whilst Blues boss Steve Aitken will expect his players to rise to the challenge after they lost heavily by 4-0 against Morton at Cappielow last Saturday .
