THREE East Lothian teams are in action this evening (Tuesday) on the search for three points.
Tranent, Musselburgh Athletic and Preston Athletic are all at home.
Tranent welcome East Stirlingshire in the Scottish Lowland Football League while Musselburgh Athletic host Sauchie Juniors in the top flight of the East of Scotland Football League (EoSFL).
Finally, Preston Athletic take on Vale of Leithen at the Pennypit in the First Division.
Match of the Day
Musselburgh Athletic v Sauchie Juniors
East of Scotland Football League Premier Division
Kick-off 7.30pm
THIRD hosts fifth at the Olivebank Arena in the top flight of the East of Scotland Football League.
A slip-up by league leaders Broxburn Athletic at the weekend has opened the door ever so slightly for the chasing pack, including Musselburgh.
The Honest Toun side were 2-0 winners over Hutchison Vale at the weekend and moved to within a point of the capital club.
Now, they host Sauchie, who would move level on points with Musselburgh with a win.
The two sides are yet to meet in the league after the original game at Olivebank was postponed at the beginning of December.
Tranent v East Stirlingshire
Scottish Lowland Football League
Kick-off 7.45pm
TRANENT’S bid for second place in the Scottish Lowland Football League suffered a blow on Saturday.
The Belters dropped points against Cumbernauld Colts, who are also aiming for the runner-up spot behind East Kilbride.
Now, Tranent turn their attention to East Stirlingshire who are 15th in the standings.
The former Scottish Professional Football League stalwarts are slipping closer to the bottom of tier five.
The two sides met on the opening day of the campaign when goals from Broque Watson and Cammie Ross were enough in a 2-1 win for Tranent.
Preston Athletic v Vale of Leithen
East of Scotland Football League First Division
Kick-off 7.30pm
THREE points would be enough to lift Preston Athletic at least one place in the East of Scotland Football League First Division.
The Pennypit side were sidelined at the weekend as their game against Kirkcaldy & Dysart fell victim to the weather.
It was the same for Vale of Leithen, who were due to host Lochore Welfare but the game was postponed.
The Borders side sit bottom of the table and without a point from their 16 games.
The two sides are yet to face each other this season and Preston are pencilled in for a trip south at the beginning of next month.
