Mouth-watering promotion clash

Whitburn’s trip to Volunteer Park for a pivotal East of Scotland Conference X promotion clash against Armadale Thistle is the highlight of this weekend’s fixtures.

The Dale head into the match with a two point advantage over their near neighbours but having played a game more.

With both Bo’ness Athletic and Syngenta hot on their heels, defeat for either side would strike a massive blow to their hopes of a top two finish.

That tie is one of three West Lothian derbies in the division with Fauldhouse United hosting Pumpherston and West Calder United welcoming Stoneyburn to Hermand Park.

Bathgate Thistle will climb off the foot of the table with a home win over Edinburgh College, while Livingston United host Bo’ness Athletic.

Linlithgow Rose welcome Crossgates Primrose to Prestonfield in the Premier Division as they look to maintain their stunning form with Blackburn United and Broxburn Athletic away to Dundonald Bluebell and Tranent respectively.

In the West of Scotland Division Four, David Carmichael’s Harthill Royal side are at home to St Peter’s as they look for their first win of 2022.
