Peterhead vs East Fife preview - Duo sidelined for Blue Toon

Peterhead are without defender Daniel Moore and striker Conor Gethins through injury for their crucial clash with East Fife.

A defeat would send the Blue Toon into the Third Division should Stenhousemuir pick up a point at Alloa, and recently-appointed manager John Sheran is determined his side keep things going for a week longer at least.

Sheran said, "We played the best I have seen in my time here against Brechin City last weekend and were unfortunate not to pick up all three points.

"We had a good consistent level of performance for the full 90 minutes whereas before we had been good for only half a game.

"Hopefully we can keep that progress going and get a win over East Fife."

East Fife striker Steven Hislop is doubtful for the trip.

Hislop is struggling with a knock while Robert Sloan and Jim Hamilton are still on the sidelines.

John Robertson's side still have a play-off ambitions after they won at Brechin in midweek.

Robertson saying: "We are still in there with a shout at the moment but we will have to go out and defeat Peterhead to keep it that way.

"They will want the win for their own purposes so we need to put on the same level of performance that we showed against Brechin."

"It would be great to leave Peterhead knowing that we are still in the hunt."
