Gordon Wylde has lost the caretaker tag and has been appointed manager of East Stirling. And he immediately swung into action by completing a double signing and then opened the way for two trialists to be included in the side today against Montrose.
He has signed former Celtic, Hibs and Barry Town midfelder Mark Molloy and striker Alan Patrick from a Motherwell amateur club. Meanwhile Montrose manger Eddie Wolecki brings in a trialist striker.
Cowdenbeath will include latest signing David McKenna on loan from St Mirren against Berwick who include strikers Mark Ramsay and Stephen Manson who are both on loan from Falkirk.
Arbroath add winger Gavin Swankie, on loan from Dundee, and experienced defender Robbie Raeside from Peterhead - he has also been appointed assistant manager - against leaders who hope to complete the signing of a midfielder who can also play in the forward line and a trialist could also be included today. But teenager David Templeton misses out as he is with the Scotland under-17 squad in Malta, Jim Mercer has a knee ligament strain and Colin Cramb is suspended.
Elgin caretaker player manager Jamie McKenzie has an unchanged squad against Queen's Park, who are without Johnny Whelan and have Paul Harvey doubtful.
Albion Rovers have an unchanged squad against East Fife who are without Stuart Noble, Johnny Mitchell, Craig Johnson and Marco Pelosi.
