STORM DENNIS A THREAT TO FIXTURES

STORM DENNIS is set to disrupt many fixtures today but the artificial surface at Holm Park where Clydebank await the visit of Benburb is a venue with a better than average chance of beating the elements.

Assured of a warm welcome from Bankies fans is Benburb’s team boss Paul Lovering whose early footballing career included a spell with Clydebank in the Senior ranks only ended when he was transferred for a six-figure sum to Hibs.

Stirrings of a revival in Gordon Moffat’s men, unbeaten in their last three outings, include a 1-0 victory over the Bens and the Bankies boss will hope striking pair Nikky Little and Aaron Miller can come up with the goods in what promises to be a closely fought contest.

Bottom-markers Rob Roy’s hopes of getting the better of Largs Thistle at Guys Meadow are boosted by suspension ruling out Thistle’s top scorer and inspirational skipper Scott Adam, while a typically heated confrontation is promised when fifth-placed

Glenafton take on Hurlford United.

Game of the day in the Championship is the Recreation Park clash between league leaders Darvel and second-top Cumbernauld United, which the Ayrshire outfit will be hoping passes a pitch inspection because otherwise the one-match suspension incurred by midfielder Stephen McDevit after his red card in last Saturday’s 3-0 defeat of Arthurlie, will rule him out of his side’s Macron Scottish Junior Cup quarter-final tie at home to Broughty Athletic.

Pick of the bunch in League One is Shettleston’s visit to the Tail O’The Bank to face Greenock with Hugh Kelly’s side looking to further endorse their title credentials.
