Gifford added a win over Glen on Sunday to the two home draws they have already recorded this term, moving quietly into 2nd place, despite carrying a penalty forward from last season.
And Peter Imrie’s team have cause for confidence, after coming through their opening three league fixtures undefeated for the first time in five years.
But the challenge is set to get stiffer in the weeks ahead, with leaders Musselburgh the next visitors due at Gifford before Imrie’s team face their first away assignment at North Berwick at the end of the month.
