The Belters have experienced a season of change, starting off under Max Christie’s guidance and finishing with Ian Little at the helm. Despite showing promise as potential challengers to champions East Kilbride at one point, Tranent will now look to secure a victory and move up to fifth place in the table.
In the East of Scotland Football League (EoSFL), four county sides are in action today. Musselburgh Athletic and Haddington Athletic face tough away trips in the Premier Division, with Musselburgh taking on Luncarty and Haddington traveling to Sauchie. Meanwhile, in the First Division, Preston Athletic will welcome Oakley United, and Ormiston Primrose will tackle Burntisland Shipyard in the Second Division.
In what promises to be a thrilling match, Preston Athletic will face Oakley United in the East of Scotland Football League First Division clash. With Preston sitting fourth from bottom in the table, a win could potentially lift them into mid-table, while Oakley United will be looking to close the gap on their opponents and avoid relegation.
Tomorrow, all eyes will be on the East of Scotland (Qualifying) Cup final as Dunbar United take on Inverkeithing Hillfield Swifts.
