⚔️ The Challenge Ahead
East Fife are coming off the back of a good point on the road, as last Saturday we drew 2-2 with Queen of the South at Palmerston Park. Today, we return to the Kingdom as we host Stenhousemuir at the MGM Timber Bayview Stadium.
Stenhousemuir are unbeaten in their last seven games, and find themselves in second place, two points behind league leaders Inverness Caley Thistle, with a game in hand over the highlanders.
