League round two of the Football League - Lowland League campaign and the squads have digested the first game. Here's our Gala Fairydean Rovers - East Stirlingshire preview:

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Gala Fairydean Rovers and East Stirlingshire.
