Rutherglen Reformer

In brief

-

season.

The 28- year- old former Stonelaw pupil has been in good form at the start of this season, helping his side to a credible draw away to Dunfermlin­e.

H e h a s a l s o s c o re d a g a i n s t Stenhousem­uir in the league and Cowdenbeat­h in the Challenge Cup.

And the former Queen’s Park player will be hoping to improve on his side’s eighth place finish last year: “I think we should be looking for at least the play-offs this season.

“We had a disappoint­ing season last year, which was not good enough by anyone’s standards.

“You’ve got the two full-time teams in Dunfermlin­e and Morton who will probably be the favourites for the top two spots.

“Everyone else will be looking for a play-off.”

The winger has been pleased with his performanc­es and the performanc­es of his team mates so far this season - but admits they should have had two more points on the board: “We had a good result away to Dunfermlin­e, who I think are rightly the favourites for the league.

“They’re one of only a few full-time teams in a primarily part time division. They’ve spent quite a bit of money throughout the summer.

“We had a good draw away from home against them. They had a lot of the ball but not many clear cut chances, in fact I’d say we had the best chances in the game.

“We went in to the Stenhousem­uir game at home and were lucky enough to get the victory. After the first 20 to 25 minutes we were the stronger team for the rest of the match.

“Thankfully I was able to score a decent goal and get the three points.

“Saturday was disappoint­ing against Stranraer. We had a 2-0 lead at half-time, they scored and then with just about the last kick of the ball they scored direct from a corner. That felt like a defeat more than anything.

“It’s not been a bad start to the season although we should have won against Stranraer and should have seven points out of nine instead of five.” Gunners Boys Club are looking for outfield players with some experience for their 2002s team.
