Match Preview

Buckie Thistle return to league action with a second trip to Harlaw Park in three and a half weeks to take on Inverurie Locos

The recent Aberdeenshire Shield meeting between the sides ended in a comprehensive 5-1 victory for the Jags, with a razor sharp Josh Peters grabbing an excellent hat-trick. Jack MacIver and Jack Murray also found the net, part of Murray's impressive current run of six goals in six games.

Buckie have not played in the league since defeating Rothes 3-1 on 4th October, and have slipped to fifth place in the league table. Locos remain third bottom after suffering their ninth defeat in eleven league games with a 2-1 reverse at Wick Academy last weekend.

Jags will add Marcus Goodall and John MacLeod to the squad beaten by Aberdeen in the Aberdeenshire Shield on Tuesday night. Andrew MacAskill will remain out for a few weeks with a broken arm, while Shaun Wood and Kevin Fraser are still out injured.

Locos' only absentee is defender Josh Buchan through injury.
