Kelty Hearts travel to Ochilview to take on Stenhousemuir in League One.  High-flying Stenny sit second in the table, one point behind leaders Inverness.

The Warriors are unbeaten in their last four league matches, albeit drawing their last two.  Last time out, they left it late to gain a point away at Palmerston with Ross Taylor securing a 1-1 draw in the 93rd minute.  

The Maroon Machine are keen to bounce back after a disappointing run of form and results.  Last week away to Alloa, Kelty Hearts were outdone 3-0.  Goals from Luke Rankin, Calum Adamson and David Devine saw the Wasps run out winners.

In the earlier meeting this season, a first half Euan O’Reily penalty was enough for a 1-0 Warriors win at New Central Park.  In the two meetings at Ochilview last season Kelty picked up a point in a 0-0 draw before a 2-1 defeat.

Previewing the match to Kelty Hearts TV, Thomas O’Ware reflected on the form of the club by saying “it has to change.  Our fate is in our hands, this can still be a positive season.

You go on a run, you get two or three wins in a row and jump up the table.  But, what we can’t do is put bad performances in.”
