It's all

systems go for us at Hampden this Saturday with the game in no doubt, as I found out this morning when I phoned them with my official web site hat on plus my West of Scotland correspondent, that's you Kev, told me "It's been snowing in Glasgow much of today but not really lying and shouldn't pose any threat to the game with rain and comparitively midler, that'll be Bette then, sorry Kev couldn't resist! conditions expected for Friday and Saturday".
So our first game in over a month. Although team selection is somewhat curtailed, what with suspensions and injuries to Gray and Brazil, which apparently have not improved during the enforced closure. So an enforced team rejigging, is that a word? for the manager. If I'm being really optimistic I'd say this gives the other squad members a chance to impress. Or is the replacement of four regular first teamers in an admittedly tight squad too much to ask. Certainly hope not but we'll see eh?
Living in Berwick it might be a bit surprising to see that the Albion Livingston game is off already and at this stage seven other games in the SFL have inspections. If our game ends up being one of the few surprising then that makes it all the more important to get something from it.
Final note tonight, someone at East End Park must be tearing their hair out tonight as the Pars have been booted out of the cup for apparently FOUR breaches of cup rules. Oops bit of a bollock there then
