Vital points at stake for Vale

VALE OF LEITHEN, despite having games in hand on all of the teams around them, are still very much in the relegation area of the East Seniors Central Taxis Premier Division although new manager Fraser Ogilvie is confident that the Innerleithen club will climb the table.

Tonight they await title- challenging Stirling University, who are currently second in the table only nine points behind Spartans but have four games in hand.

Ogilvie will be without the suspended duo of Ryan McKenzie and Paul Lee although he welcomes back Jordan Hall and Steven Radzynski after their bans.
