Match Preview by Scott Gallacher

Stenhousemuir return to Ochilview Park tomorrow afternoon for the second leg of the William Hill Championship Play-Off Semi-Final against Queen of the South, with everything still to play for following a dramatic first leg in Dumfries, with kick-off at 3pm.

The Warriors looked to be taking a slender advantage back home on Tuesday night after captain Gregor Buchanan fired Gary Naysmith’s side ahead in the first half with a volley from the edge of the area.

However, deep into stoppage time, Reece Lyon struck in the 92nd minute to level the tie and ensure the contest remains finely poised heading into Saturday’s showdown at Ochilview.

With a place in the William Hill Championship Play-Off Final on the line, Stenhousemuir will be looking to make home advantage count in front of what is expected to be a strong backing at home.

The Warriors have enjoyed another memorable campaign and now sit just 90 minutes away from keeping their promotion hopes alive after narrowly missing out on the William Hill League One title on the final day of the regular season.

Queen of the South, meanwhile, will arrive knowing they too are one result away from progressing, setting up what promises to be an intense and closely fought encounter between the two sides.

Supporters are encouraged to arrive early and get behind the team as Ochilview hosts one of the biggest matches in the club’s recent history.
