There is much to play for in the top two divisions of the SPFL this weekend – beginning with the play-off shakedown in the cinch Championship on Friday night.

Lee Bullen’s Honest Men are trying to avoid extending their season and sit in eighth, one point ahead of Dundermline with just one-goal separating the sides’ goal difference.

Whoever does take the second-bottom spot will enter the Championship play-off semi-final against Queen’s Park, the fourth-placed finishers in League One.
Places in the Premiership play-offs are already assured for Arbroath and Inverness Caledonian Thistle who each host sides who have already confirmed their second-tier status for next term, Morton and Hamilton.
