Kelty Hearts v East Fife – Preview by Oli Anderson
MGM Timber Bayview Stadium, Methil | 
Saturday 14th March | 🕒 Kick-off: 3:00pm
⚔️ The Challenge Ahead
East Fife fell to another defeat last Saturday when Hamilton Accies romped to a 3-0 victory in Methil. The poor run continues and it makes this fixture even more important, as we face local rivals, Kelty Hearts. Currently sat bottom of League 1, a victory could give them belief and spur them on to survival. On the contrary, an East Fife win could go a long way in helping to ensure we remain in the third tier for another season.
