The Blue Brazil are rooted to the bottom of the Scottish League Two and looking at another year of competing against the winner of the Lowland/Highland League play-off to preserve their football league status they have held since 1905.

Since the play-offs have been introduced in the 2014/15 season Cowdenbeath have slipped from the second tier of the Scottish game and then bottom of League Two in 16/17 and 17/18 where they beat East Kilbride on penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw over two legs and then Cove Rangers 3-2 on aggregate.

Since then they have finished in 6th and then 4th & 9th in the two recent curtailed seasons.

Maurice Ross was appointed Manager in November. Their next games are away to Stenhousemuir this Saturday, at home to Stranraer on Saturday 22nd January and a huge game at Albion Rovers on Saturday 29th January.
