East Fife vs Inverness Caledonian Thistle Current League Standings

The Fifers lie sixth in the league, five points below fourth placed Alloa Athletic and eight clear of Cove Rangers in ninth. Dick Campbell’s men are on a three match losing run in the league and will need to return to winning ways if they fancy themselves as contenders for a place in the top four.

Meanwhile, Inverness will be wanting to fight back from their shock Scottish Cup exit to The Spartans with three points that would reclaim their position as league leaders. Under Scott Kellacher, the Caley Thistle are winless in their last three and will require a win to return to form, especially as this match is one of two games in hand.
