Dunfermline Athletic
- Dunfermline Athletic are fourth in the Championship table after taking 29 points from 21 matches this season, but their consistency in the league has been much more impressive than the table suggests.

- They drew 1-1 away to Ayr United, edged out Arbroath on penalties in the Scottish FA Cup after a 2-2 draw and were beaten 1-0 at home by Ross County last time out.
- Aaron Taylor-Sinclair has done a great job since taking over in October 2025 to blend the Diamonds’ possession-first identity with an added attacking intent.

- Airdrieonians haven’t won on any of their last three visits to East End Park.
