Manager's Programme Notes

In the only match we have played since the last programme, we got back to winning ways against Hamilton in and tidy rather than outstanding fashion.

The other pleasing point was that in our last two outings against Raith and Hamilton we have kept a clean sheet. If we can keep that kind of defensive work up then we shouldn't go far wrong because as our record shows this season, we are always more than likely we are to score.

Two weeks ago I made a couple of changes which might have surprised some people, but players lose form at different stages of the season, so I took the seaso to brin opportunity to bring back one or two players who have been out of the scheme of things. With no scheduled match last weekend, it was important to keep the momentum going and give some players a run, Unfortunately even although it was only a friendly against

Celtic, the referee would only

allow us to use two

substitutes. In beating Celtic Reserves 4-2, we continued our winning ways and it helped other players show what they can do to promote healthy competition for places.

As we we saw when we met Clydebank first time round, they are a good side, though it wasn't exactly one of our better days when they beat us 5-2 in the first meeting.

Since then we have won the following two encounters, and hopefully, we can extend that to a hat-trick of victories to take us back to the top of the table.
