Stirling Albion have been dealt a blow after it was confirmed that skipper Ross McMillan tore his hamstring in last week's Scottish Cup win over East Fife.
The 33-year-old central defender, who joined the Binos from Stenhousemuir during the summer, is expected to be sidelined for around three months.
Meanwhile striker Craig Beattie, absent since August due to injury, is now back in full training and is in line to return to action before the end of the month.
