Arbroath face a relegation play-off to preserve their Scottish League Two status after drawing with East Fife.

After a first half bereft of clear-cut chances, the match came to life with three goals in nine minutes.

Linn gave the away side the lead with a cracking 30-yard free-kick before Steven Doris's strike levelled.

David Muir then headed home to restore the Fifers' lead but James Redman equalised again for the home side with a looping header after 71 minutes.
