Brora Rangers v Lossiemouth

Brora's one hundred percent winning start to the season ended in midweek at the hands of Cove Rangers in the Challenge Cup. They'll aim to bounce back against Lossie at Dudgeon Park, but must do so without Greg Morrison, John Pickles and Kyle Macleod through injury. Scott Davidson will have a late fitness test.

Lossie remain without Jack MacArthur and Niall Kennedy, but the rest of the squad are fit and in contention to start for the visitors.

Buckie Thistle v Fraserburgh

Match of the day is at Victoria Park, where third placed Buckie take on early league leaders Fraserburgh. Joe McCabe returns from suspension for the Jags, but Cieran McLean and John McLeod remain out injured.

Broch thumped six past Clach last weekend to make it an impressive 13 goals in 3 league games, they'll look to continue that scoring form in this one. Jamie Beagrie is available again after suspension.

Clach v Wick Academy

Clach defender Sean Webb will be in temporary charge when the Inverness side try to get their first Highland League points of the season against Wick at Grant Street.

Wick duo Jack Halliday and Michael Steven could return as they look to improve on taking just one point from their opening three league matches.

Formartine Utd v Deveronvale

Formartine followed up an impressive win at Wick with a superb display to knock League One Peterhead out of the Challenge Cup in midweek. They'll aim to continue that form against Deveronvale at North Lodge Park.

Vale also returned to form with a comfortable win over Huntly last time out. Courtney Cooper, Kevin Adams and Sam Robertson miss out today, but Kyle Willox and Harry Noble both return to the squad.

Deveronvale v Huntly 

Vale defenders Ross Aitken and Kevin Adams are both suspended and miss the visit of Huntly to Princess Royal Park. Youngster Matthew Beaton is added to the squad.

Huntly will be aiming to gain their first points of the season after narrow defeats to Lossiemouth and Nairn County in their first two fixtures. Former player Craig Dorrat has rejoined the club on a one-year deal.

Forres Mechanics v Brora Rangers

Forres take on Brora in what's sure to be a cracking encounter at Mosset Park. Ryan Farquhar, Ross MacPherson and Owen Paterson are all out with knee injuries, while Scott Miller and James Ross are unavailable. Moray Taylor also misses out with a hand injury.

Greg Morrison is injured and is the only absentee for Brora, who have made a superb start to the season, scoring 24 goals in four goals and conceding none.

Fraserburgh v Clach

Broch face Clach at Bellslea and they will have the same squad available who recorded an excellent win at Formartine last weekend, bar Jamie Beagrie who is suspended.

Clach are on the lookout for a new boss after Brian Macleod stepped down as manager earlier this week due to work and family commitments. Assistant manager Darren Jarvie takes charge of the first team on a temporary basis.

Keith v Buckie Thistle

Keith welcome local rivals Buckie Thistle to Kynoch Park and they'll be without David Dey with a broken wrist. Grant Thompson and Josh Bolton are both unavailable, while Ryan Robertson is struggling and will have a late fitness test. Ryan Spink and Michael selfridge both return to the squad.

Cieran McLean and John McLeod remain out injured for the unbeaten Jags, while Joe McCabe is suspended.
