Edinburgh City, Livingston, Ayr United

I wrote about Edinburgh City, Scottish Lowland League champions, a week or so ago as they prepared for the 2nd Leg of their play-off with Highland League winners Cove Rangers at the Meadowbank Stadium.

Having come through that game safely, a 1-1 draw giving City a 4-1 aggregate victory, attention now turns to the Pyramid play-off against an East Stirlingshire side who finished bottom of the pile in SPFL League Two this season.

City host the 1st Leg this coming Saturday, May 7th at 3pm and have held their usual admission prices of £5 Adult and £2 Concessions and will be hoping for a big crowd to roar them on to an advantage to take away in the 2nd Leg.

Playing for a place in next season's Scottish Championship (the second tier of the game north of the border) are Livingston, Stranraer, Ayr United and Peterhead.

Livingston finished 9th in the Championship this season and take on League One's 4th-placed side, Stranraer in a two-legged semi-final. The first leg is on Wednesday before this Saturday's 3pm return at the Tony Macaroni Arena (I loved writing that) for which prices have been reduced to £10 Adults, £5 Concessions and free for Under-12's with a paying adult.

The winner then takes on either Peterhead (3rd in League One) or Ayr United (2nd) for a place in the Championship next season. The first leg of that game is tonight (Tuesday) before Saturday's return at Somerset Park, 3pm, for which Ayr have reduced prices to £10 Adults and £5 Concessions.
