In their previous game, the manager Ross led his Cowdenbeath to a defeat in the League Two match away at Stranraer. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Central Park.
Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Stirling Albion.Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the League Two game versus Edinburgh City in only four days. This game is also played here at Central Park.
