Boss Kevin Harper admits it's tough to know what to expect from Colin McMenamin's side in the opening part of the season.

“All the games are going to be tough, no matter when we play teams," said Harper.

“Stenny are in a bit of transition just now with coming down from the division above. It can go two ways.

“They are coming down from a good league so might have that bit extra quality, but they are not used to winning every week after the relegation.

“The first quarter is always difficult with all the new teams and new players, but we need to concentrate ion ourselves.”
