The Scottish League One season has one game to go before the split for the last four games and East Fife have it all to play for and in their own hands as they get set to face Airdrie on Tuesday.

They're four points off the top, close to securing a playoff place, but they're also very close to dropping into the bottom five. Lee, Doug, and Gordon look at all of that and the narrow win over Peterhead on Saturday in this episode. Can the Fife get it done?

It's been another busy week for East Fife which has put supporters through a gamut of emotions after a draw, a defeat, and finally a victory. Four points earned or five points dropped? With the league table tighter than a gnat's chuff, every point that goes a-begging could be crucial with just two games remaining before the split.

We chat about all the big talking points coming out of the games against Partick Thistle, Dumbarton, and Forfar, look at where that leaves the team, what it could mean for this season and next, and a lot, lot more.

Plus Bear's Den continue as our new Artists of the Month and we bring you the latest single from Fife fan, and friend of the show, PG Ciarletta.

How much football can you take in the space of eight days? Four East Fife games and two Scotland games, with mixed performances, certainly tests you! But we have it all covered in this week's show. In league play, we look at the Fife's poor showing in the loss to Montrose on Tuesday and the bounce back win over Clyde two days later, which has seen the club move within touching distance of the playoffs. But if league success is on, the cup dream is over after a Saturday afternoon of heartbreak in the Scottish Cup against Morton.

We chat about all of that and the big talking points coming out of the games, plus Bear's Den continue as our new Artists of the Month.

Our feature interview this episode is with a father and son duo who both pulled on the famous black and gold jerseys, Peter and Paul McQuade.

We chat about those heady times, his career in the game, and hear some great stories along the way from the infamous stolen televisions to turning out in front of tens of thousands at the likes of Ibrox and Parkhead, and is he really Kevin Bridges' dad?!
