Brown added to East Fife squad
East Fife add Ross Brown to their squad for the Bayview clash with Clyde as the Fifers look to overturn a 1-0 deficit from their first leg with the League Two side.
Kevin Rutkiewicz (ankle) and Gary Fisher (knee) remain out and Scott Durie is a doubt, with manager Gary Naysmith looking for his team to start where they finished in midweek.
Naysmith explained: "We had Clyde pushed back in the last 20 minutes and we were unlucky not to grab an equaliser. We need to use that spell as the motivation for this game as if we play as well as we did then for the 90 minutes we will definitely score."
Clyde have ruled out Ian Gray with a foot injury and former East Fife player Neil Janczyk is also absent due to a knee problem. Stuart McColm misses out as he is on honeymoon while midweek scorer Scott Ferguson is a major doubt with a foot injury.
Manager Jim Duffy said: "We played very well in the first half on Wednesday and deserved our lead. However in the second we sat too deep and that gave East Fife too much of the ball.
"We needed to dig deep and see things out with a lead. We will need another resilient performance to get through."
