Match Report

TTA report

Ibrox. Disappointing. East Fife took the lead (41) with a well-taken goal. The under-used Walker equalised from a free-kick (75) but confusion between McCredie and Kinnell with a half-hit pass back led to the winner a minute later. A chance blown. Too many forwards were ineffective. No wins in 7 v the Fifers.
