SPFL 2: Derby day sees plenty to play for in exciting season finale

Posted on Friday, April 19th, 2024

The Spartans make the shortest of journeys this weekend across the City into Mid Lothian for an SPFL 2 ‘derby’ against near neighbours Bonnyrigg Rose.

It was only six weeks ago when the teams locked horns at the same venue in a midweek encounter that saw Marc McNulty open his Spartans goalscoring account and Blair Henderson notch up his 100^th SPFL career goal in a dramatic 2-2 draw.

With just three games left in the domestic campaign, both camps are looking to bag full points from the game that may be crucial in determining their final fortunes in the league table.

Last week’s 1-4 win on the road in Methil will have boosted Bonnyrigg’s chances of keeping clear from Clyde, a result that, combined with Spartans earning a point against Stranraer in the most blustery of conditions, saw Douglas Samuel’s men extend their lead over the Fifers to 7 points in the push for a play-off place.
