Re: Scottish Highland League 27th Dec

Think i'm going to concentrate on Highland league games from now on after noticing betandwin pick them.

Lads if you have account with betandwin a good website is www.highlandleague.net.

Team news from Highlandleague.net

There is talk of snow in the East of Britain on the weather forecasts but it looks unlikely to affect the HFL region so we are all systems go for the remaining six Christmas Scot Ads Highland League matches.

Top billing on Tuesday will go to Deveronvale v Huntly at Princess Royal Park. The Banffers will be without Ross Bremner and Paul Munro for the match that pits former managerial partners Gregg Carrol and Billy Anderson against each other. Huntly have no injury worries.

Buckie Thistle v Keith looks just as appetising with the Jags set to give Kevin Souter a run out during his brief return from the States while it has been rumoured that Franny More and Stephen Bruce could also feature. Neil Murray certainly won't as he is suspended while long term injury victims John Coutts and David Angus are also set to miss out.

The Maroons, who currently sit top of the form table, will be without the suspended Derek Nicol and the injured Kenny Tawse. Alan Fraser and Neil Robertson are doubtful with ankle and knee injuries respectively.

Fort William have failed to pick up a point so far this season and on the 27th they will have their last chance to do that this year when Brora Rangers visit Claggan Park. Fort have a full squad to choose from for the first time and it looks like Brora will almost be in the same boat with Mark Kennedy set to return but Gordon Mackenzie still has one match to serve on his ban.

Talking of bans Steven Edwards' 8 game suspension will come to an end when Clach make the short trip to Station Park for the festive derby clash. The Lilywhites will be without Gary Ross, Andy Lewis and Dave Mackay but Nairn are slowly nearing full strength again with Scott Nicholl the most likely to join Steven Edwards on the sidelines due to injury.

Rothes will be hoping to round off a year of change by completing a league double over Inverurie Locos at Mackessack Park. The Speysiders will hope to have Chris Henderson back but Jamie Miller misses out and Kevin Collins remains a doubt for this one.

Tommy Wilson is suspended for the Locos and with injuries to Steven Park, Richie Singer and Kenny Coull keeping them sidelined while Danny Milne sets off for holiday it looks as though the young guns could well heavily feature once more.

Last but not least Wick Academy will look to get back into action after a few idle weeks but one player certain to miss out is skipper Martin Gunn who is suspended as the Scorries welcome Forres.

Steve Paterson will be without Gary Black and Andy Matheson for the trip North but expects most of the rest of his squad to be available.
