The Cattachs will finish the season in third place after a 1-0 victory over Huntly last weekend.

Mark Nicolson scored the only goal of the game to give Brora victory last Saturday,

However, Brora will be without Tony Dingwall tomorrow due to being suspended after being sent off in the match last weekend.

Brora Rangers could hit 80 points for the season with victory tomorrow and at least six points ahead of Formartine United.

The Cattachs did win silverware this season, lifting the North of Scotland Cup after a 2-1 victory over Clachnacuddin in Inverness.

But they were knocked out of the Highland League Cup by Banks O’Dee in the first round in a penalty shoot-out at Dudgeon Park.

They also suffered an early exit in the Scottish Cup first round losing 3-2 to Open Goal Broomhill in Cumbernauld.

Manager Ally Macdonald took over from Craig Campbell who stepped down as boss in January.

Meanwhile, Buckie Thistle and Brechin City will go head to head at Victoria Park on the final day of the season to decide who will become champions.

Brechin City forced the final day showdown with a 2-0 victory over Keith at Kynoch Park.

Fraser Macleod scored in the first half with Ewan Loudon doubling their advantage 11 minutes from time to give Brechin City victory.

Buckie Thistle are one point in front of Brechin City going into tomorrow’s clash at Victoria Park.

Buckie Thistle only need a draw to be crowned champions for the 12th time in their history with Brechin City looking to win the league title for the first time.

The winners of the Highland League will face Lowland League champions Spartans in the League Two play-off semi final.

The winner of that clash will go on to face the team which finishes bottom of League Two for a place in the division next season.
