The Kirkcaldy club’s slender hopes of making the play-offs were formally severed in midweek when Guildford Flames’ 4-3 win over Coventry Blaze eliminated them from the race.

It has been a long, tough season for the fans, and while the team has shown improvements over the closing run, it left itself with too much ground to gain.
The closing games are all Scottish derbies, beginning with Fife hosting Dundee Stars on Saturday night, and then crossing the Tay for the return fixture on Sunday.
