“We’ve got a very strong team and it’s one that seems to be getting better and better. That’s something you’re always striving for as a player, to see the club on the up. It’s good to be part of.

“There’s a lot of experience­d boys who have played at a higher level. But it’s not like they are coming to the end of their careers. They are still of an age where they can progress further.”

Scott Smith spent time at Elgin City (pictured) and is now looking forward to making an impact at Swifts League set-up. But he knows the importance of this weekend’s game against second-placed Broxburn Athletic and added: “I’ve only seen the one team so it’s hard to comment on the standard.

“I’ve been told this weekend is a big game. I’ve heard a wee bit about Broxburn and that they are a good team. We should definitely be competing to win it.”

Kick-off at the Riverside has been moved to the earlier time of 1.30pm.
