About our East Fife news
Latest news on East Fife FC, providing coverage of The Fifers' matches, transfers, and progress in Scottish League Two and cup competitions under manager Dick Campbell.
Founded in 1903, East Fife Football Club is a semi-professional football club based in Methil, Fife, Scotland. Currently competing in Scottish League Two, the club has a rich history as the first team to win the Scottish League Cup three times and one of only two second-tier clubs to claim the Scottish Cup, making them the most successful club in Fife in terms of major honours.
Under the recent appointment of experienced manager Dick Campbell in January 2025, East Fife are looking to improve their position in League Two. The club currently sits fifth in the table, with home matches played at the MGM Timber Bayview Stadium, which has a capacity of 1,980 and recently benefited from the opening of the nearby Levenmouth rail link in June 2024.
The Fifers maintain strong connections with their local community, demonstrated through their youth development programme and relationships with nearby clubs. The squad features a mix of experienced professionals and promising young talent, with captain Stewart Murdoch leading the team and several youth prospects gaining valuable experience through the club's loan system with junior clubs like Crossgates Primrose and Lochore Welfare.
The club's golden age came in the post-war period, particularly between 1948 and 1954, when they achieved remarkable success including three League Cup victories and consistently high finishes in Scotland's top division. Notable players from this era included internationals George Aitken, Davie Duncan, and Charlie Fleming, establishing a legacy that continues to inspire the current generation.
