Brechin City had a poor start to the season getting knocked out of the Ramsden Cup and Scottish Communities League Cup in the first two fixtures. Peterhead and Stranraer were the teams progressing at their expense. The league season handed them an opening day fixture at Ibrox but then two home wins got them on track but they lost at Arbroath last time out. Dunfermline Athletic have won three and lost one of their League One matches.
