Campbell to lead Fifers

East Fife skipper Stevie Campbell is expected to shake off a knock and take his place in the centre of the Fifers defence against visitors Clyde.

Player/manager Gary Naysmith and Scott Smith are both rated as extremely doubtful and midfielder Alan Cook continues to miss out due to an ankle injury.

However, on-loan pair Liam Smith and Jonathan Page are available after not being allowed to play in last weekend's 7-0 Scottish Cup win over Threave Rovers by their parent clubs.

Naysmith said: "It is good to have options to change things around as a win over Clyde could lift us into second place. That is a very good incentive. "

Clyde player/manager Barry Ferguson has included himself in the Bully Wee squad after missing out on last weekend's 3-0 Scottish Cup win over Turriff due to a knee injury.

The Broadwood boss has a full squad to choose from for what he believes will be one of the toughest games of the season.

He explained: "East Fife have a strong squad of players and are quite rightly one of the favourites for promotion.

"This will be a difficult game, however if the players give me the same effort and commitment that they displayed against Turriff then I will be pleased."
