Match Preview

Bonnyrigg Rose will be eager to get back into the win column when they welcome the visit of East Fife to New Dundas Park. This is a rearranged fixture of a match that was supposed to be played on October 7th, however it was postponed due to a waterlogged NDP pitch.

Rose had a hard time at it against Forfar at the weekend as the Loons came away from New Dundas Park with all 3 points thanks to goals from Mark Whatley and Ryan Paterson.

Robbie Horn will be eager for a response from his side when the line-up against an East Fife side that is grabbed an emphatic win at the weekend after 3 losses on the bounce, including a Scottish Cup shock defeat against Dunbar United.

The Fifers comfortably disposed of bottom-placed Clyde with at New Douglas Park with goals from Alan Trouten, Brogan Walls, Nathan Austin and Sean Docherty.

There was high expectations for East Fife heading into this season, with many bookies even having them tipped as favourites for promotion, but it has been a satisfactory campaign so far.

They had a decent Viaplay Cup group stage campaign which saw wins over Elgin City as well on penalty kicks against Championship side Queens Park.

They made some good progress in the Scottish Challenge Cup, seeing off the likes of Queen of the South and Dundee U-21s before eventually bowing out on penalties against The New Saints.

Rose are yet to face off against the Fifers this season following the aforementioned postponement back in October, but they will be looking to get another win on board against Tuesday's opponents much like they did in the first meeting between the pair last season.

Rose comfortably disposed of the Fifers on the day, winning 3-0 at Bayview thanks to goals from Neil Martyniuk, Dean Brett and Kev Smith. The other 3 league meetings saw a 4-1 win for East Fife at NDP as well a 2 draws.

Rose will be hoping to not only have fully recovered from Saturday's defeat to Forfar but also to get back to winning ways after 3 losses in a row.
