COWDENBEATH open their new Ladbrokes League 2 season where they ended the last one, at Elgin.

That fixture will be on Saturday August 5 and they follow that one with a home game against Edinburgh City on August 12.

They complete August with an away game at Montrose and then a home fixture with Berwick Rangers.

The holiday fixtures at Christmas and New Year will see Saturday games on December 23 at Peterhead; Annan Athletic at home on the 30th then Montrose away on January 2.

Elgin were one of the leading sides at the start of last season although they ran out of steam in the closing stages, so it will not be an easy start for Gary Locke and his lads.
