Forfar Athletic
- James Weir has had a very different impact on his team since taking over as Forfar Athletic manager in November 2024.

- The Kilby currently lead the way in the table with 60 points from 32 games, while Forfar Athletic are in sixth place with 40 points after the same number of matches.
East Kilbride
- Michael Kennedy has instilled a progressive possession-based philosophy at East Kilbride since taking over as manager in May 2023 that has lifted The Kilby to the top of League Two 2025/2026.
- The visitors have played with patience, width and control on the ball, using their full backs to overload opponents in transition and swarming teams with the number of bodies in the opposing penalty area.
- East Kilbride’s away record in the league is impressive, with nine wins from 16, 35 goals scored, an average of 2.19 goals per game on the road.
- East Kilbride are in strong form, winning three, drawing one and losing only one of their last five matches.
Head-to-Head
East Kilbride have won the last three head-to-heads, including a 3-1 win at home two months ago in League Two 2025/2026.
Key Players
- John Robertson is the talisman, the League Two 2025/2026 top scorer with 19 goals in 30 appearances and he has been in particularly good form of late, with three goals and three assists in the last five.
- Jake Sutherland has chipped in with two goals in Forfar’s last five, giving their attack a bit of a timely spark.
- Martin Rennie, who has bagged 11 goals in 30 league games, is their main scoring threat, but neither player has the firepower of Robertson.
