Who to Watch
Kevin Cawley has been the scourge of many a team to visit the Recs and Jack Ross will know that only too well having managed the forward during his time in Clackmannanshire.
Other notable names include creative midfielder Alan Trouten and well-travelled striker Liam Buchanan.

Hide AdPeter Grant also took his son Raymond to the Indodrill Stadium during the summer, and the midfielder is the key man in the middle for the Wasps, while highly-rated defender Liam Dick can play at left-back or in the centre of defence.
Innes Murray would also be one to watch but the Hibs loanee is ineligible.
Opposition Form
The Wasps recorded an overdue league in at the weekend to send Arbroath to the bottom of the Scottish Championship.
That win and a draw against Dundee are the only points registered by Peter Grant’s side outside of the league cup where wins over lower league opposition Stenhousemuir, Airdrie and Edinburgh City took the Wasps through to win against Hearts in extra-time.
