Written By Stephen Reid.

The Rose make another short journey to this time Meadowbank Stadium to face Edinburgh City in this William Hill League 2 clash.

This is the 3rd away day in a week for The Rose after trips to The Spartans and the Tuesday night trip to Stranraer in the SPFL Trust Trophy.

Edinburgh City after a tough time last season where they were relegated back into League 2 have a radically changed squad this season under Manager Michael McIndoe and are looking to pick up their first points of the season as are The Rose.

Last time out in the League The Rose travelled to a blustery Ainslie Park to face The Spartans and despite a strong display went down 2-0.
Two second half Blair Henderson goals and some decisions that went against us meant that we left pointless on a frustrating afternoon for our large away following.

Edinburgh City travelled to Methil to face East Fife where two second half goals in five minutes for the Fifers were enough to secure all three points.
