Naysmith to miss play-off decider

East Fife player/ manager Gary Naysmith will miss out with a calf injury as his side look clinch a play-off place against visitors Elgin.

Stevie Campbell is a major doubt with Naysmith asking his men to do to Elgin exactly what they did to Berwick Rangers last week.

He said: "It would take a strange set of circumstances for us not to qualify now so I want the boys to go out and play with the confidence they showed to get that 3-0 win at Berwick.

"We have been in the top four for most of 2015 and we should look to clinch our place with a bit of style."

Elgin's Craig Thomson is expected to shake off the back knock he picked up in last Saturday's dramatic 5-4 defeat from Annan to feature at Bayview.

Cieran McLean is again ruled out with a fractured cheekbone with manager Jim Weir delaying naming his side until fitness checks on Ally Gilchrist and Darryl McHardy.

Weir said: "We wanted to be going into this game with something to play for but last weekend has cost us that opportunity.

"We lost really bad goals and I want that to stop as I do not want to end the season in second bottom spot as our recovery has been a lot better than that."
