This weekend the sides meet again, this time in the quarter-final of the East Of Scotland Cup at Musselburg­h’s Olivebank.

In the McBookie.com East Super League, Carnoustie Panmure bring the curtain down on something of a rollercoas­ter season with a visit to title-chasing Bonnyrigg Rose.

Once more manager Alan McSkimming is short of available defenders, with Ryan Roche injured and Adam Harwood unavailabl­e.

Lochee United have had an excellent first season back in the top flight and they welcome Linlithgow Rose to Thomson Park for the final home game.

A club statement said: “We would like to thank Yordi for his efforts while with the club and wish him all the best for the future.”

Meanwhile, Dundee, Sky Sports and Neil McCann have yet to reach a conclusion with their talks about McCann’s future.

That is expected to happen by the start of next week.
