THE ROSEY POSEY v THE BLUE BRAZIL THIS WEEKEND

The Rosey Posey face The Blue Brazil this weekend in the first leg of the Scottish League play-off. Could Cowdenbeath who were playing The Championship in 2014/15 be relegated out of the football league they have been members of since 1905 or like in 2017 and 2018 stay up by the narrowest of margins or could league football be played at New Dundas Park in the 2022/23 season? 

Since promotion/relegation was brought in we have seen Edinburgh City join in 2016 who have a real chance of promotion to L1 this season. Cove Rangers joined in 2019 and have been promoted twice further so will play in The Championship for the 22/23 season. Kelty Hearts moved up for the 21/22 season and have won L2 at the first attempt to play in L1 next season. 

East Stirlingshire, Berwick Rangers and Brechin City still remain in the top divisions of the non-league game North of The Border and are yet to return to the football league.
