East Fife vs Celtic B– Preview by Oli Anderson
MGM Timber Bayview Stadium, Methil | 
Friday 10th October | 🕒 Kick-off: 7:45pm
⚔️ The Challenge Ahead
East Fife return to KDM Evolution Trophy action this evening, as we host Celtic B at the MGM Timber Bayview Stadium.
After last Saturday’s victory over Cove Rangers, East Fife will hope to take their momentum into today’s clash and tee us up for qualification through to the next round of the KDM Evolution Trophy. With 7 points after 4 games, a seeded finish is not off the cards, though the Fifers will need to be on their A game.
Celtic B have actually done quite well all things considered, and they sit in 15th place after four games, and look set to progress to the next round, with their 6 points possibly already enough to see them through too.
