East Fife make the long trip to Stranraer tomorrow knowing that three points are required to keep their promotion hopes alive. Speaking earlier today, manager Barry Smith echoed the thoughts of most supporters that whatever the outcome at Stair Park in the last game of the campaign, the season has been a successful one for the Fifers.
"It's a great game to be involved in for the club, given that there is one game left to play, to still be in with a chance of reaching the play-offs means that it has been a very good season. We will be giving it absolutely everything to get the three points and will be focusing on ourselves rather than worry about results elsewhere.
As far as injuries are concerned, Jonathan Page and Scott Robinson will miss out but the rest of the boys are fit, giving us the biggest squad for a number of weeks."
Games have been tight between the two sides this season with two draws and a win for the Methil men in the three previous encounters. Stranraer's goal difference should ensure safety from the second bottom position whatever the outcome tomorrow while East Fife hope that a win, coupled with a defeat for either Brechin City or Airdrieonians might propell them into a play-off place.
