Ellon’s prospects of hunting down Caley Division One leaders Dunfermline look remote with only a couple of games left to play.
The Fifers have games against the two bottom sides, while the Aberdeenshire side have three games to play, including a tricky test at home to Grangemouth Stags who have already beaten them this season.
The run-in to the title continues on Saturday with Ellon at home to Hillfoots, while the McKane Park side also enjoy home advantage against winless Aberdeen Wanderers.
Six points separate the two top sides.
