Match Preview
Hibs pair back for Brechin Brechin welcome back on-loan Hibernian duo Scott Smith and David Crawford to face East Fife. Manager Jim Weir, who is without injured defender Gerry McLachlan, is an admirer of the Fifers. He said: "East Fife are one of the top attacking sides in the Second Division. They excel in the middle to front areas of the pitch and their defenders are not too shabby either. "We will need to be at our best to contain them and I really respect the way their manager sends them out to attack. "It will be a difficult game but we won well against Dumbarton last week in the Scottish Cup after a disappointing run of results. That win gives us a good platform to build on in the league." John Robertson will miss the match, as the East Fife boss has been laid low with flu. His assistant Gordon Durie will be in charge and the former Rangers, Tottenham Hotspur and Scotland star has had to rule out Scott Dalziel and Craig Johnstone through injury, while Robert Sloan faces a fitness test. Matthew Park returns after a knock and on-loan Scotland Under-21 goalkeeper Mark Ridgers available again after Hearts did not let him play in the Scottish Cup. Manager Robertson said: "This is a tough game for us but I am sure the boys will do well. We were really good going forward against East Stirling last weekend and I looking forward to hearing that we were the same at Brechin."

Match Report
Fifers end travel sickness East Fife picked up their first away win of the season in the Division Two with a 2-0 win over Brechin. Fife were ahead after just 27 seconds when a left-footed strike from Robert Linn found its way into the bottom corner. They continued to press forward, with shots from Matthew Park and Robert Ogleby testing Craig Nelson in the Brechin goal. Ogleby then beat Nelson after 22 minutes when he slotted home from 12 yards to double Fife's lead. After half-time, Brechin created their best chance of the game when James Lister's 48th-minute shot was saved by Mark Ridgers. Michael Dunlop also went close for Brechin after 77 minutes but saw his shot go over the bar, allowing Fife to keep their first clean sheet for 11 games.
