Championship play-off final first leg
Venue: Central Park, Cowdenbeath
Date: Wednesday, 14 May
Kick-off: 19:45 BST

Dunfermline welcome back defender Jonathan Page from a ban but the visitors will be missing three strikers for both legs of the tie.

Lawrence Shankland and Ryan Wallace are ruled out with groin injuries.

And Jordan Moore is missing from Jim Jefferies' squad as he battles against skin cancer.

Cowdenbeath manager Jimmy Nicholl: "We are playing with confidence and are looking forward to this game. We know a lot about Dunfermline and know that we will need to work incredibly hard and keep playing the good football we have been playing to establish a lead.

"It will be a real derby occasion but it is really important that the players do not get caught up too much in the event. They need to keep cool heads throughout."

Dunfermline manager Jim Jefferies: "Cowdenbeath may have finished the season second from bottom but they are in good form. They battled until the end of the season and then defeated Ayr United home and away in the semi-finals.

"They will see this as a second chance to stay up and will be very determined to take it."
