Match Preview
Trio absent for both sides Injured trio Robert Sloan, Jim Hamilton and Craig Johnstone remain absent for East Fife when Alloa visit. The New Bayview side are looking to keep the pressure on Brechin in the race for the last remaining play-off place, and boss John Robertson reckons that is it do or die for both sides. He said: "We need a win and hope that Stenhousemuir beat Brechin to get us into fourth place, and Alloa need a win whilst hoping that Brechin beat Stenhousemuir so they are safe. "So it is a huge day for at least four sides in the Second Division. "Regardless of what happens, I am really proud of the players' efforts as our first target was to avoid relegation and we did that with five games to spare." Alloa`s relegation plight will not be helped by the absence of three players. Striker Jim Lister is suspended, while defensive duo Mark Brown and James Bloom are nursing injuries. The Wasps are in such poor form that they have emerged as the favourites for the relegation play-offs, despite having a point more then Stenhousemuir. Manager Allan Maitland is looking to arrest his side`s slide, he said: "Last week's game with Stenhousemuir followed a familiar pattern in that we missed some great chances and then lost soft goals that saw us get beat. "We have no-one but ourselves to look at for the position we are in and we need to correct our faults at both ends of the pitch to win at East Fife."

Match Report
Alloa fight goes on Alloa remain in relegation trouble after a 3-1 defeat at East Fife. Alloa head into the final game of the season a point above Stenhousemuir and a win will secure their place in Division Two. East Fife are three points short of the play-off places and can gatecrash the top four on the last day. The Fifers were in front after 16 minutes when Ryan Wallace finished calmly from inside the penalty area. Wallace could have made it 2-0 four minutes later but his penalty, given for Scott Walker's foul on Mark McCulloch, was saved by Athletic goalkeeper Jamie Ewings. East Fife doubled their lead nine minutes into the second period, Lloyd Young crossing for Matthew Park to head home from close range. Alloa pulled one back after 61 minutes when Kevin Motion latched onto Walker's flick-on to fire home from close range. But Scott Durie's 18-yarder three minutes from time secured victory for East Fife.
