This will be the first time that both sides have faced each other.

Caley Braves won their opening day fixture – when Jamie Watson scored the only goal to defeat Berwick Rangers 1-0.

Since then, The Braves haven’t been able to put a point on the board – losing 5-1 to Celtic B, and 2-0 to Broomhill.

A 3-1 opening day win over Stirling Uni at Prestonfield got the campaign off to a positive start. This was followed by a 2-0 defeat away to Broomhill, but The Rose got back to winning ways as they blew Gretna 2008 away with a 9-2 victory.

Eight players have contributed to The Rose’s 12 goals, making them a threat from any position.

Caley Braves will be looking to build on their midtable finish, last season – ending the campaign tenth in the league, with 51 points.

Like GFR, The Braves enjoyed participating in some high-scorelines, including a 4-4 draw with Celtic B, a 5-2 win over Hearts B, and the highest scoring game of the 22/23 season: a 10-0 win over Dalbeattie Star.

However, they do now need to contend with the loss of major creator and convertor, Marc Kelly – who travelled along the bypass to Mick Kennedy’s new-look East Kilbride.

Berwick Rangers ended the 22/23 campaign in a very respectable seventh, with 61 points. The Wee Gers finished as one of the in-form teams – losing only four of their last twenty competitive matches.

Stuart Malcolm has been looking to solidify The Black & Gold at the back – bringing in Callum Mackay from The Spartans, Jamie McCormack from Bo’ness United, and Kane O’Conner from Tranent.
