Luncarty have welcomed centre-half Ross MacLachlan to their squad for the opening fixture of 2023.
The Bleachers host Whitehill Welfare in the East of Scotland League First Division on Saturday afternoon (kick-off 2pm).
Manager Robbie Holden expects to operate with a near full squad and reported that only Scott Sutherland and Danny Dobie are set to miss out.
“The rest are available,” he told the Perthshire Advertiser yesterday.
“And we have added Ross MacLachlan to the squad, signing from Hill of Beath to give us more depth.
“We had a friendly on Tuesday night to get the boys ready for Saturday and there has been lots of indoors or fitness based-training.
“The disruption with the weather has been a real frustration so we are hoping we are nearly through it.”
Luncarty, who sit seventh in the latest First Division standings, welcome a Whitehill side hovering just above the drop zone in 13th.
“Whitehill are a funny one,” Holden said. “They started slow but have a new manager in who knows us well.
“I’d fully expect them to start improving their league position.
“It’s certainly not a game we take lightly, we are in the must win territory most weeks now.”
