Spiders can’t take their foot off the gas

-

SEVEN points from their last three matches has put Downfield in a more comfortabl­e position in the Premier League.

However, it’s so tight in the bottom half they must continue to pick up points.

Tomorrow they visit Arniston, who are second bottom but only four points behind.

Calvin Colquhoun and Phil Hagan are both out while Charlie Cargill is doubtful.

Tayport head for Dalkeith hoping to make up for last week’s disappoint­ing defeat at Hermes in the GA Cup, where they were twice in the lead.

The Fifers were emphatic 4-0 winners when they met at The Canniepair­t and will be out to complete the double.

With Jamie Gill, Jamie Mackie and Conan Gray nursing i njuries, manager Charlie King will make a late selection.

Victory at Bathgate last week has put bottom club Kirrie Thistle within touching distance of the four teams immediatel­y above them.

Tomorrow they have a tough ask away to Musselburg­h, though it should be pointed out the runaway league leaders’ only league defeat was at Westview.

It would be an understate­ment to say St Andrews boss Craig Morrison was angry about last week’s 7-2 defeat at Whitburn.

He is looking for his side to put the wrongs right as they welcome Tranent to Barnetts Park.
