Juniors down to business

TONIGHT'S derby between Bathgate and Whitburn signals an influx of midweek East Juniors games, writes JOHN GILMOUR.

Bathgate are still in with a shout for the Super League title having six games in hand over leaders Bo'ness with a 20-point gap. Whitburn on the other hand are scrapping for survival sitting second bottom five points above Camelon.

Bathgate manger Graeme Love, however, is expecting a very tough game. "It's a huge game for both sides. Whitburn will be up for this game."

In the South Division, second placed Broxburn are at home to Edinburgh with three games in hand over leaders Tranent and a gap of ten points.

Blackburn, who play bottom club Livingston, are also in contention for the title and in a similar position to Broxburn, as they too chase leaders Tranent.

Elsewhere West Calder play host to Harthill, Spartans take on Dalkeith and Stoneyburn are at home to Sauchie.
