MGM Timber Bayview Stadium, Methil | 
Tuesday 20th January | 🕒 Kick-off: 7:45pm
⚔️ The Challenge Ahead
East Fife face a tough game today, as we host Inverness Caley Thistle in a rescheduled fixture following postponement due to Inverness’ Scottish Cup tie. This will be just the second time the teams have met this season, with tonight’s visitors coming out on top last time out, in a largely one-sided affair.
