EAST FIFE have announced that former Celtic and Hibs striker Derek Riordan has agreed to sign for the League Two club. Riordan (right) has featured in their last three matches as a trialist and scored in wins over Annan and Elgin. Scotland cap Riordan, 32, had been without a club since leaving Alloa at the end of last season. ALLEN BULA has appealed to be reinstated as Gibraltar boss, threatening legal action if not successful. Bula was sacked on Monday, with Scotland facing Gibraltar in a Euro 2016 clash on March 29. PARTICK THISTLE boss Alan Archibald denies that a win at Ross County tomorrow will end the threat of automatic relegation for the Jags. Archibald said: ‘I don’t think we would then be safe.’
