Sandy Stewart and David Dunn collect monthly award as the Diamonds prepare for the visit of Stenhousemuir to Nou Broomfield Stadium.
It's third v fifth this week, our first home game in four weeks and a celebration as Sandy Stewart picks up the Manager of the Month award and David Dunn wins the young player of the month award for September.
For the first time since Lee Gardner went of injured in the friendly against Dundee United Sandy has the selection of his full squad barring any last minutes hitches.
Today Sandy said "It's great having a full squad to choose from, especially as it's the first time since the Dundee United game, we want a performance that will match that at Alloa, the players have set a standard and I want them to stick to it. It's pleasing for any manager to get four goals in one game."
On tomorrows game " Stenhousemuir are coming to us after winning two games in a row, so I expect them to try and keep it very tight. With us taking seven points from our last three away games we are determined not to waste it with a bad home performance."
Stenny Manager John McVeigh have five players returning to the first team squad but have Ronnie McQuilter and Brian McCloy on the sidelines.
