Gavin Price's side play their first League 2 match since December 19 when they host Edinburgh City on Saturday, March 20.

The Black and Whites stay on home soil for their Scottish Cup second round tie against Championship side Ayr United three days later.

Then on March 27, City welcome Stirling Albion north for their third consecutive home match.

The format for the conclusion of the season has yet to be determined, with discussions ongoing on whether to play 18 or 22 fixtures in League 2.

As a result, only the opening two week's fixtures of the resumption of the campaign have been unveiled by the SPFL.

Elgin await a decision on whether the final table will determine the play-off places at the 18-game mark, or the league then splits into top and bottom halves with another four fixtures to contest.

They sit in second place after nine games, just ahead of Stirling on goal difference with Edinburgh five points behind in fifth.

The capital side have just appointed former Scotland defender Gary Naismith as their new manager.
