East Fife return to the Locality Hub Bayview Stadium tomorrow afternoon as they welcome the current league leaders Ayr United. The Honest Men arrive in fine form, unbeaten in seven games, and will provide a stiff challenge for the Fifers as they hope to return to winning ways.

Manager Darren Young was left disappointed following Tuesday night’s 2-0 defeat to Raith Rovers at Stark’s Park. Despite enjoying good spells of possession, particularly in the first half, the Methil men were punished once again for individual errors which saw their local rivals chalk up another derby success.  

The men from Ayrshire have had the better of recent meetings between the teams, coming out on top in each of the last eight encounters, including a 3-0 win just six weeks ago at Somerset Park. Declan McDaid, Lawrence Shankland and Alan Forrest were the men on target for the home side.

Other than midfielder Mark Docherty, who is recovering from knee surgery, East Fife should have a full squad available for selection tomorrow.      

Supporters of both clubs are reminded that they are welcome to enjoy refreshments at the stadium bars before and after the game.
