Methil boss Naysmith sa said: The tempo we’re at ju just now in training I’ve ne never trained at in April – n ev even at a full-time club.

“We have three games no now to get one victory butbu we want to get it done so sooner rather than later.” JohnJo Coughlin celebrated his full-time appointmen­t as Berwick boss by denting Clyde’sCl title hopes.

The Bully Wee slipped seven points behind East Fife after they were undone by Blair Henderson who bagged a goal in each half.

Jordan McGregor then added the third just two minutes from time.

Coughlin, now the first full-time gaffer at Berwick in 27 years, said: “I just want to end the season on a high then sort out my backroom staff for next season.” Jim Weir was left ruing Elgin’s missed chances as they slipped out of the play-off places.

Top scorer Craig Gunn and Stevie Ross failed to find the net as they were unable to break down stubborn Stirling.

Victories for Annan Athletic and Queen’s Park pushed City into fifth place.

Weir said: “It was a disappoint­ing result simply because of the amount of chances we created.

“It’s frustratin­g but I can’t fault the boys for effort.” Jim Chapman insists his Annan side have no chance of title glory despite moving up two places to second.

A Josh Todd double and singles from Lewis Guy and Smart Osadolor saw off Arbroath, who replied through Jamie Reid.

Annan remain seven points behind East Fife and Chapman reckons the leaders are out of reach.

He said: “Nobody is catching them. We’ve just got to keep our foot to the floor and make sure we get to the play-offs.” East Stirling boss Craig Tully admitted he can do longer defend his players after a first-half shambles.

Tully’s men allowed the Spiders to race into a three-goal lead by half-time, with Jamie McKernon, Vincent Berry and Paul Woods finding the net.

The Shire boss said: “We were a shambles. From the first minute to the 45th we were shocking. I can’t continue to defend them.”

Spiders boss Gus MacPherson said: “We could have scored more.”
