WATCH: Stenhousemuir back in pre-season training at Ochilview for SPFL League Two season 2020-21

Stenhousemuir returned to training on Tuesday ahead of the 2020-21 season - but it was the SECOND get-together for Davie Irons’ squad.

The manager, and assistant Kevin McGoldrick, put the players through their paces for the first steps of the new campaign – and they’ll be back tonight for a second session. It was a first look for several of the new faces including Creag Little, Thomas Muir and Callum Tapping.

But as is the ‘new normal’ the players were ‘face-to-face’ in a virtual meeting on Monday night learning the new protocols in place at Ochilview and what to expect when they reported on Tuesday evening.

Like many others Stenhousemuir are subject to the Covid-19 prevention protocols and guidelines of the SFA/SPFL joint response group and these were followed - including the closure of the club’s changing facilities at Ochilview and regular sanitising of equipment and hands.

Players were issued with their new training kits - which they will have to wear to and from training with no dresing room available - and arrived in staggered intervals.

Training is also subject to restrictions on the pitch – while contact is permitted numbers are limited into sections of the pitch.

The Warriors are also opening Ochilview to the public - more details on the club website and Facebook page.
