Jack Brydon, Allan Delferrière, Emmanuel Johnson – FC Edinburgh
Delferrière and Brydon featured as the Citizens lost narrowly to Dunfermline at East End Park, with the unfortunate Liam Fontaine scoring an own goal in the last few minutes for a 1-0 victory for the Pars. The Belgian midfielder completed the full 90 minutes with Brydon a 52nd-minute replacement for Lee Hamilton.

João Baldé – East Fife

Kyle McClelland – Cove Rangers

Dylan Tait – Arbroath
Tait played the full 90 minutes as Dick Campbell’s side drew 1-1 with Queen’s Park at Ochilview, Bobby Linn on target for the second game on the spin as he cancelled out Patrick Jarrett’s opener for the Spiders.
Arbroath host Raith Rovers on Wednesday night and are still searching for their second league win of the campaign.
