East Fife pick up another point as assistant boss hails 'tremendous character'
Ian Campbell hailed East Fife’s “tremendous character” after a much-improved performance gained a point in Dumfries last Saturday.
The Fifers, who have now drawn two matches on the spin in Scottish League One after losing four in a row previous to that, were forced to settle for a point after a 2-2 scoreline against full-time Queen of the South.
Myles Gaffney levelled for the visitors after Reece Lyon’s early opener, and Sam Culbert then equalised again for East Fife on the hour mark after midfielder Lyon netted again in the first half.
Speaking to East Fife TV, assistant boss Campbell said: “We lost a goal after 30 seconds or so, which happens far too often. But then we came back and showed tremendous character. We lost another dodgy goal but then we managed to come back again.
"I thought that was more like an East Fife team that I would recognise today. The passion and organisation was much better and in the second half we should have won the match. We created so many guilt-edged chances. We’re delighted with the point, although we could have won it.”
East Fife now host second-placed Stenhousemuir this Saturday at home as they look to climb away from the relegation play-off spot. They currently sit five points above ninth-placed Hamilton Accies in seventh.
"Bring them on,” Campbell said. “We want to fix our home form. We want to get something out of it.”
