Match Preview

Buckie Thistle will be hoping for a return to action against Forres Mechanics at Mosset Park tomorrow, after having three out of four fixtures cancelled in December.

The two sides have already met twice this term, with The Jags coming out on top on both occasions.

Buckie won the midweek early season clash 3-1 at Victoria Park, Josh Peters coming off the bench to score twice in 11 minutes and turn the game the home side’s way, after Dylan Lawrence put Forres in front early on. A late Max Barry strike sealed all three points.

A hard fought Scottish Cup Second Round meeting at Mosset Park in late October was settled by an outstanding strike from Jack Murray.

The Cans have returned to form after a poor run with four points from their last two games, winning 2-0 at Strathspey Thistle then drawing 1-1 at home to Lossiemouth. They will be without Jack Grant for this one, while another couple of players are doubtful due to illness. Taylor Thain could return to the squad.

Buckie struck late to grab all three points at Turriff in their last outing, they remain without the injured Shaun Wood, Andrew MacAskill and Kevin Fraser. Lyall Keir and Joe McCabe could return for The Jags.
