Spaniard set for Fifers bow

Former Real Sociedad defender Julen Etxabeguren Leanizbarrutia is in line to make his East Fife debut against Queen's Park.

Madrid-born Etxabeguren Leanizbarrutia signed for the Fifers last month following a trial period with the club.

The Bayview side also have Alan Cook available after injury but player/manager Gary Naysmith remains out with a calf injury. Meanwhile, Scott Smith has an ankle problem and Ross Campbell is suspended.

Ahead of the game, Naysmith said: "We are in much better shape squad wise than we were a week ago when the game at Elgin was called off. I am pleased about that as Queen's Park are one of the top sides in this Division."

Queen's Park have everyone in their squad available but a lack of recent game time following injury will see Ross Gallagher and James Baty miss out.

The Spiders have drawn their last three games with head coach Gus McPherson saying: "We are playing well in games but we are not turning that play into goals. I cannot fault the players for their efforts but we need to get over the line in terms of scoring.

"East Fife are a good side who will climb the table before the end of the season so we will have to play well and take our chances to win."
