Match Preview
Fifers aim for fourth Play-off chasing East Fife are without four key players for their crucial trip to Airdrie. Midfielder Stuart Cargill, energetic forward Robert Sloan and front men Jim Hamilton and Craig Johnstone all miss out as the Fifers look for a win which will pile pressure on Brechin in the race for fourth spot. A success of any sort for John Robertson's side and a defeat by any margin for the Glebe Park men would extend East Fife's season and set up a two-legged semi-final showdown against Fife rivals Cowdenbeath. Robertson said: "Whatever happens I am pleased for the players as they have done a fantastic job over recent months. "Their form in the last two months has been exceptional and I will be as pleased as anything for them if we make the play-offs." Airdrie are without defender Craig Hill as well as strikers Scott Morton and Ryan Donnelly for the visit of an East Fife side who they are yet to lose to this season. Wide man Phil Johnston is a doubt with a knock, meaning winger Gary Mackay-Steven may start after his 45-minute substitute appearance last weekend as he made his comeback from injury. Diamonds boss Jimmy Boyle is looking to end a satisfactory season on a positive note. He said: "It has been a bit of an up and down season for Airdrie but we reached the objective of staying in the league with a few games to spare, so we can be happy with that. "It would be great however to bring things to a close with three points."

Match Report
Sally leaves it late for Airdrie Striker Scott Sally's late goal gave Airdrie a hard-earned 2-2 draw against East Fife at New Bloomfield. Midfielder David Muir put the visitors ahead in the 33rd minute with a cool finish from inside the box after latching onto Ryan Wallace's cross. But the Diamonds were level just eight minutes later thanks to midfielder Ryan McCord's strike from inside the box. Goalkeeper Michael Brown came to his side's rescue just before the break, scrambling across his goal to punch away Jamie Stevenson's dangerous left-wing corner. The Fifers stepped up the pressure in the second half and made it count in the 64th minute when Steven Hislop stabbed home Muir's cross from six yards. But Sally turned home Stevenson's low cross in the 83rd minute to earn his side a share of the spoils.
