But boss Morrison says his side will be calm heading into the final game.

He said: “At this stage of the season is Downfield at home a game you’d have wanted? you’d have to say yes because they’re down where we are in the table.

“We’ll be approaching it in the right manner but are relaxed about it because we know that on our day we’re capable of putting on good performances and beating any side in the league.

“After that it’s about seeing what Whitburn can do but we just need to take care of ourselves first.

“I’ve been looking over out past few results and if we had that cutting edge we could have won some heavy points.”

Kick off at Barnetts Park is 2.30pm.
