Quality Director George Shields said: “We are absolutely delighted to partner with East Fife FC this season and beyond. We, at ITS, believe community engagement is the responsibility for all local businesses and we are proud to support a local team with such a proud history”.

Scott Young of the Commercial Team added: "We are absolutely delighted that ITS have come on board and have committed to partnering with the club. Based across the road from the stadium, there aren’t many businesses closer to Bayview so here's to a long and successful partnership for all involved".

We’re delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Rabin Omar on a 1-year deal.

The 25-year-old started his career at Annan Athletic, where he spent 4 seasons, then moving on to play for Elgin City, Greenock Morton and Dumbarton before returning to Borough Briggs in January this year.

Rabin trained with the club during pre-season and featured as a trialist in friendly matches against Spartans and Hill of Beath Hawthorn, where he scored the opening goal. He is currently working his way back to full fitness following an operation but should be available to play within the next couple of weeks.

Caretaker Manager Greig McDonald: “I’m delighted to be able to bring Rabin to the club. He’s an experienced and intelligent player who can cover a few different positions and I’m sure he’ll be an asset to the club."

Welcome to Bayview Rabin!

We welcome Stirling Albion to the Locality Hub Bayview Stadium this afternoon for our final league match of the 1st quarter.
