Kick-offs 3pm Saturday

With the top two in Ladbrokes League Two, Montrose and Peterhead, meeting at Links Park, Stenhousemuir have the perfect chance to gain some ground on them by winning at Berwick.

The English side have won just one of their last six games and Robbie Horn's team have also struggled to find the net.

That's not a problem for Stenny, who have got back on track after a a poor run.

They rattled four past Elgin last week and Harry Paton, who is on loan from Hearts, is in fine form.

In Mark McGuigan, they also boast a striker who has netted 17 goals this season, so Brown Ferguson's men should have too much for the Wee Rangers.

Ross County are due a break and they are worth chancing in a six-pointer at Partick.

The bottom two in the Ladbrokes Premiership face off at Firhill with neither in particularly good form.

County were expected to improve under Owen Coyle, but they have not won in eight games.

That may sound woeful, but the Dingwall side have been desperately unlucky in many of those games and have come close to beating Hibs and St Johnstone in the past week.

Thistle will have to come out and play a bit, unlike their ultra defensive effort at Aberdeen in midweek, and that could allow the Highlanders to have chances.

Alan Archibald's men are no great shakes and County certainly don't deserve to be written off.
