Good news

about the SFL making an early payout,as apparently they did last season. The amount they are saying is £450,000 although there's no intimation of how it will be divied up. I presume it won't be 30 equal shares, or it might be, but I certainly doubt it. No matter I'd imagine whatever we get at Shielfield will be very welcome. Although I do believe things are being run on a much better fiscal basis this season. Almost time for our next game, at home this time. How about this, we win, handsomely, and that lot loose, one point difference!

The lads

done us all proud last night. Apparently the weather was absolutely terrible which made it all the more creditable. Last night was never going to easy and could be the first of what could be a momentous double this week. When I seen Montrose had equalised early in the second half I had a wee flutter but off course should have had more faith. We now sit 4 points behind you know who so we're still on for the position on the 2nd when we could overtake them. I know that this still depends on someone else in our league stepping up to the plate and taking some points from them. No matter lets enjoy last night for a couple of days and then get it all done again on Saturday. That one I'll certainly be there for.

All my

thoughts, well almost all of them, are at Links Park tonight as I nervously wait for the game to get under way then await information on how it unfolds. I can't stress enough how important a result is tonight and by result I mean a win, nothing less. I'm fully aware of their result on Saturday and I'm sure Jimmy Crease is equally aware. It's time for us to get back on track and get up the ass of our friends from Livingston. I'd love to see us in a situation where a win on the second would put us above them. Tough ask I know but lets give it as good a go as we can.
COME ON YE GERS.......

Big one

tomorrow night at Links Park. Unfortunately due to work commitments I'm unable to make it but rest assured I'll be in touch with events via various media. Wee bit worrying that Montrose had a moral boosting win on Saturday against higher league opposition. I really hesitate to even think it, but, they've not won in the league all season, we're of the back of......
Just had a look at the draw. Good one for Edinburgh City and I think Irvine Meadow at Hibs, and good one for Forfar at home to the Saints. Ah well, cups are boring aren't they, they are aren't they!

Was thinking

of going to the Alex Jack Cup Final at Prestonpans today but the weather got the better of me and I stayed indoors watching footie on the tele instead, I know, the lazy option. However speaking to Davie Watkins tonight he reckoned I made the right decision as the weather was terrible. Oh by the way in case your interested Leith beat Eyemouth. We have a midweeker this week albeit one nobody particularly wanted. No matter we must look for full points at Montrose and the same next Saturday. I've watched two and a bit games on the tele today and am just about to watch Barca v Real. Suits me fine before you ask especially if you have an old lady nipping your ear to go and see her mother! Not you is it?

Looks like

our game went as you might have expected today at Dingwall. You'll be aware I couldn't be there so I'm thus far just going on the result. On the face of it it appears fairly conclusive and whatever the meat on the bones of the result we exit the cup. Mind you I said the other day that Tuesdays result at Montrose is what really matters and I stand by that. I just hope that today's result won't cause too much damage in the team and they can recover in time for Tuesday.

Interesting news

from up Ochilview way with the Warriers changing club status. Their statement went like this "Stenhousemuir have changed the legal status of the company behind the football team with the decision announced at their Annual General Meeting on Monday. The Ochilview club have moved become the first football league club in Scotland and they reckon they are the first in Britain to move from a Private Limited Company to a Community Interest Company (CIC).

The move is designed to safeguard the future of the club with a club statement advising that the move was being done to stop ‘the club being taken over by people who did not have the best interests of the club at heart and could cause problems of the type well know in modern football in the UK."

What strikes me is the bit about it being done to stop the club being taken over by people who etc. Good job that wasn't the case at Livingston! Oops, that was naughty.
Huge game for us tomorrow. The club could be doing no more preparation wise and I really hope it pays dividends. Come on the Rangers.......

Almost time

for our cup tie. I think I've said before that I'm unable to go as I'm launching my book in Duns on Saturday, yes my book, copies still available, that's enough I know. My thoughts off course will be at Victoria Park and I'm certainly hoping. A result would be excellent for club coffers and moral in general. Although if I'm being honest the most important for me is Tuesday at Montrose and the following Saturday at home to Elgin. Six points is a must and I certainly think the team are capable. Mind you I'm presuming that Montrose can actually get their team to Montrose for this one. Lets put a couple extra in just for having to go back lads. I think Montrose have been a bit cheeky about this one.
