Young, who parted company with East Fife earlier this year and also managed Albion Rovers, came in this week following Kevin Rutkiewicz's exit from Forthbank.

City boss Gavin Price is pleased that his team have a match so quickly after Saturday's 2-2 draw against Stenhousemuir, when he admitted they were fortunate to escape with a point.

"I’m glad there’s a game on Tuesday," he said.

"I would like to keep the pressure on and hopefully get a good Christmas with picking up a result against Stirling."

Price will be without Ross County loan defender Tom Grivosti following his red card against Stenny for a last-man foul.

Watch Darryl McHardy's last gasp Elgin City equaliser.

"It looks harsh from where I was, it looked like he got the ball first but I will need to see it on camera," Price said.

Darryl McHardy popped up in the 90th minute to equalise for Elgin's ten men.

"We threw caution to the wind and even Thomas (goalkeeper McHale) was up for the free kick that led to the goal.

"He caused a bit of confusion but Darryl did excellently and we almost sneaked it at the end so I will applaud the players for character.

"But I'm sure Stenhousemuir will feel hard done by not winning the game."

As well as Grivosti's absence, Elgin will be without Brian Cameron and Archie Macphee.
