East Fife welcome fellow play-off hopefuls Airdrieonians to Bayview Stadium tomorrow in what is a crunch match for both sides with four teams sitting on 46 points with two games left to play.
Speaking earlier today manager Barry Smith looked ahead to the game.
"I was delighted to have won the game last week that puts us in a good position going into the final two games of the season and an opportunity to get into the play-offs, a position that was better than expected at the start of the campaign. I'm also delighted that Pat Slattery, Kevin Smith and Chris Kane have decided to stay on for another two years, which not only shows their commitment to the club but also the club's commitment towards building a strong squad for the future. We will also be in talks with others in the coming weeks as we plan ahead for next season."
The Bayview gaffer also reported that Luke Watt will make a welcome return to the squad but Jonathon Page is unlikely to be involved. Striker Jordan Austin is also a doubt, while Chris Duggan will serve a one game suspension after his dismissal at Cliftonhill last week.
Matches have been tight between the sides this season with two draws at the Excelsior Stadium and a 1-0 win for the Diamonds in the previous meeting at Bayview. With so much at stake the club are hoping for a bigger than normal turnout to cheer the lads on tomorrow in what should be an entertaining encounter.
