Brora Rangers striker Kyle Macleod was thrilled to score three goals in as many minutes in Saturday’s 7-0 demolition of Lossiemouth at Dudgeon Park.
The 22-year-old former Ross County forward said: “I scored three very quick goals and the one that clinched my hat-trick was my favourite, even though it was a bit of a tap-in and the other two were better strikes.
“It was nice to get my first treble of the season. I did manage to score three last term, so this one was my fourth since I arrived at Brora from Ross County last year.”
Macleod, the caretaker at Inverness Rugby Club, is glad to be back in the Cattachs’ starting line-up after a lengthy spell on the sidelines.
He added: “I was out for about a month and a half with a head injury, so to score three times in my second game back was brilliant.
“I also scored a goal in our 2-0 North of Scotland Cup triumph, also against Lossemouth, last weekend, that was equally pleasing for me.
“I really can’t complain with four goals in two games. We know now that Cove Rangers are favourites to win the Highland League but there is still a long way to go. We’re only halfway through the season.
“We were favourites before a ball was kicked but this season the league is even more unpredictable than ever. Last Saturday Huntly were 1-0 up at home to 10-man Cove at halftime before the visitors fought back to take the points. Any team is capable of beating any other.
“We know it’s going to be a tough ask but we’ll be going for the title right to the end.”
