The high-stakes battle for a place in the top flight begins live on TrillerTV! The William Hill Premiership Play-offs ignite at KDM Group East End Park as Dunfermline Athletic hosts Arbroath in a massive first-leg encounter. With the dream of Premiership football hanging in the balance, both clubs are just five games away from a seat at the top table of Scottish football.

This Quarter-Final clash features two sides that have defied expectations during the 2025/26 Championship campaign. Dunfermline Athletic, under the high-profile management of Neil Lennon, have undergone a transformation. After finishing 7th last season, the Pars secured 4th place with 51 points, marking their most successful league campaign in five years. Adding to the drama, Lennon has also guided the club to the 2026 Scottish Cup Final, making this one of the most historic months in the club's modern era.

Arbroath arrives in West Fife as the slightly higher seed, having snatched 3rd place with 52 points on the final day. The Lichties have proven to be a "bogey team" for the elite this season, relying on a blend of veteran resilience and tactical discipline. While they hold the higher league position, Arbroath must navigate a raucous East End Park atmosphere where the Pars have lost only twice in their last 11 league outings.

Players in Focus

Dunfermline Athletic: Andrew Tod & Chris Kane
The focal point of the Pars' offense is the breakout star Andrew Tod, the club's top scorer with 16 goals across all competitions. His hat-trick against Arbroath earlier in the season makes him the primary man to watch. Supporting him is the experienced Chris Kane, whose physical presence and "big-game" temperament are essential for the high-pressure environment of the play-offs.

Arbroath: Findlay Marshall & Thomas O'Brien
For the visitors, the creative spark comes from Findlay Marshall, who leads the team in both assists and goal involvements from the midfield. Defensively, the Lichties lean on the veteran leadership of captain Thomas O'Brien. O'Brien's ability to organize the backline against Lennon's attacking "front-foot" philosophy will be the deciding factor in whether Arbroath can take a result back to Gayfield for the second leg.

Will the Pars take a step toward the top flight, or will the Lichties silence East End Park?
