Countdown until the polls open...
PaddyPower has lengthened the odds on Labour retaining the seat - now at 2 - 1 with the SNP on 1 - 3.
And here's the latest thoughts doing the rounds:
Ben Brogan is suggesting that Labour have already given up.
Andrew Sparrow over in the Guardian is suggesting a narrow SNP win.

One thing is certain, a victory in Glenrothes for Labour would allow the Brown recovery story to be perpetuated. Failure to win will not be a disaster, but it will signal that Labour are back in remission.
It's tricky - very difficult to call. Has Brown done enough to save himself? Before the polls open, I'm going for the SNP. Alex Salmond's party machinery will win through.
