Just seen that myself, how is that allowed?

East Fife and Clyde are the same.

Less than 48 hours in between games is unheard of.
Not exactly unheard of.

Back in the day, certainly in England, it was common for teams to play Good Friday, Easter Saturday and Easter Sunday. In the Midlands they played on Easter Saturday, Easter Monday and Tuesday. If you go back to the 1950s, teams played on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and the Saturday after.

None of the teams had big first team squads back then and rotation was unknown apart from injury and players dropped. There were no substitutes back then. There would be a reserve team playing a similar schedule to the first team consisting mostly of 'over the hill' older players and youngsters.
