The Fifers’ brilliant fourth-tier season so far has been recognised with five East Fife stars making the PFA Scotland League Two team of the year.

Dick Campbell’s side sit second in the table with two games to go and head to title rivals Peterhead knowing that a win would see them leapfrog the leaders.

And that would then put them in pole position to secure automatic promotion.

They host Elgin City on the final day, and thanks to a superior goal difference, they would likely only need a point on the final day to secure the championship.

Hearts loanee Liam McFarlane was named in net by his fellow professionals with team-mates Brian Easton, Andy Munro, Alan Trouten and Nathan Austin also included.

McFarlane has kept nine clean sheets in 29 appearances, conceding 31 goals.

His defence in front of him have been one of the league’s meanest, with Easton and Munro both contributing to the Fifers’ excellent record.

They’ve got the second-best record, conceding just 36 times.

Up the other end, East Fife have shone. They’ve scored a league-record 63 goals, ten more than Edinburgh City in second spot.

And veteran forward Trouten – now aged 39 – has scored a whopping 22 of them.

He has grabbed four assists too and is odds-on to named the player of the season when that honour comes around.

Team-mate Austin has scored 13 times including a brace during the Fifers’ most recent match – a 2-0 win over Stirling Albion at home.
