Bonnyrigg Rose draw against League leaders in Fife.

Manager Calum Elliot made two changes to the starting eleven as The Rose travelled to Methil to face League leaders East Fife.

On loan Goalkeeper Andy McNeil came in for his debut replacing Mikey Andrews with Calum Connolly replacing the injured Ryan Porteous.

The match started with both sides working each other out with the Bonnyrigg creating the first chance when a Bradley Barrett shot was well saved by the East Fife goalkeeper McFarlane.

Bonnyrigg lost Captain Kerr Young mid-way through the first half to injury to be replaced by Keiran Somerville.

Cammy Ross gave The Rose the lead on the stroke of half time when he ran through from a through ball from Bradley Barrett to place the ball high into the East Fife goal.

East Fife continued to control possession in the second half, but Bonnyrigg continued to be a threat on the turnover.

Substitute Laaref hit the post for East Fife with less than 10 minutes remaining and it looked like The Rose were about to leave with all 3 points.

With five minutes remaining East Fife were awarded a penalty for a hand ball which was then converted by Trouten.

Calum Connolly went close to putting Bonnyrigg back into the lead when his header came off the post.

Both sides threatened in the final moments of the match but had to settle for a goal apiece.
