Team news
McHale ruled out for Stenhousemuir Stenhousemuir are again without experienced midfielder Paul McHale through a foot injury when Annan visit Ochilview looking to get one over former manager David Irons in the third round of the William Hill Scottish Cup.
The Warriors have been further weakened as Hearts have not allowed the on-loan Colin Hamilton to play, and Partick Thistle have barred Shaun Fraser from participating.
Stenhousemuir Assistant manager Kevin McGoldrick said: "They (Annan) are going well in the Third Division but we have played well at home all season in Division Two so we can be confident going into this game. We played them in pre-season and David knows the club inside out from his years there as a player and a manager so we are well prepared for the challenge." Annan will give midfielder Jack Steele a fitness test on a groin injury prior to kick-off, as Galabank boss Harry Cairney looks to upset one of his former clubs.
Striker Ian Harty is not ready to resume playing yet but defender Peter Watson is available, as his suspension for his red card at Clyde last week is restricted to league affairs.

The home side took the lead after just nine minutes when Stewart Kean finished coolly from the edge of the penalty area.
Rodgers then drilled the ball home from range for his first on 17 minutes.
He notched his second with an excellent 18-yard volley before completing his treble with a stunning 30-yard effort to guarantee he took home the match ball.
