Albion Rovers boss stunned by East Fife turnaround as survival bid goes to final day

Albion Rovers boss Sandy Clark was left stunned after his side lost to East Fife to see their League Two survival battle go to the last day of the season.

Clark saw his side sink to a 2-1 defeat away to East Fife yesterday, despite taking the lead in the game through Euan Mutale, who scored his first goal for the club since joining on loan from Dundee.

Rock bottom Rovers will now go into their final league fixture next Saturday with their destiny out of their own hands, as they look for a win against champions Stirling Albion at Cliftonhill, whilst also looking for a favour from Elgin City against Bonnyrigg Rose after the Borough Briggs side picked up a last-minute winner on Saturday versus Dumbarton.

Having taken the lead at Bayview, two sensational strikes from East Fife’s Jack Healy and Alexander Ferguson gave the home side the three points and left Rovers three points adrift of Rose, who do have an inferior goal difference.
