Ross County v East Fife: betting tips for Friday's Scottish Challenge Cup clash

TV: BT Sport 3, 7.45pm Friday

East Fife have been completely written off for Friday's Challenge Cup semi-final at Dingwall but they can prove that they are no mugs against Ross County.

The Methil side were given a bye after a farcical trip to Dublin to play Bohemians which was called off moments before kick-off due to a frozen pitch. The Irish club then scratched.

Fife had been in fine form and took Ladbrokes Championship strugglers Partick Thistle all the way last week in the William Hill Scottish Cup before conceding a late goal.

County were involved in a tiring Highland derby on Monday in the same competition, drawing 2-2 with Inverness, and Fife look a solid bet to score in reasonable time.
