Heriot’s, Stirling County, Edinburgh Accies, Melrose, Aberdeen Grammar, Dundee HSFP and Currie have five points separating them between third (41 points) and ninth place (36 points).

The team who finishes in ninth will go into a play-off with the runner-up of the National League, which will be decided this weekend too, between Glasgow Hawks and Hawick.

All seven teams are also in the mix for the last two British & Irish Cup places next season.

The fixtures this weekend are (ko 3.00pm):

Gala v Melrose
Boroughmuir v Edinburgh Accies
