PREVIEW CELTIC B

Tuesday, 15th Nov 2022

SPFL Trust Trophy Third Round (home) Tuesday 15th November 2022, kick off 7.45pm at The KDM Group East End Park

On Tuesday evening Dunfermline Athletic and Celtic B will fight it out for the final place in the last sixteen of this season’s SPFL Trust Trophy. The prize awaiting the winner is an away tie against Arbroath on Saturday 10th December.

Under the management team of Darren O’Dea and Stephen McManus, Celtic B compete in the Lowland League and have never come up against Dunfermline before. Their current league opponents include the likes of Cowdenbeath, Spartans and Dalbeattie Star. In the SPFL Trust Trophy they reached the third round having defeated Albion Rovers 3-2 at Cliftonhill on 9th August.

Tuesday night’s cup tie has been re-scheduled from 24th September after Celtic B players call up on international duty. Suffice to say that prompts alarm bells about the quality of the opposition.
