Rovers boss hopes to avoid more call-offs

-

a doubt on one or two, but unfortunat­ely it was called off, so we just need to get on with it.

“We don’t want any game called off, we want to play in every game.

“We’ve got injuries ourselves, we’ve got players missing, but it is what it is, and we’ve had to cope with that all season – four, five, six players missing – so we’re kind of used to it.

“Fingers crossed games don’t get called off. Things seem to have steadied out, so hopefully the powers that be see that and we can start getting back to normal. We don’t want disruption­s. We’ll just have to see.”

Rovers hope to get back to action at Cliftonhil­l on Saturday when they entertain Stenhousem­uir.

Reid’s side are currently eighth in the table, with Stenny two places above them, but having played a game more.

The former Rangers and Morton defender says it’s a topsy-turvy league, which was shown in Annan’s 5-1 Boxing Day win over Kelty Hearts.

He said:“we’ve beat Stenny in a few and they beat us in the last game, but they’ve strengthen­ed, the new manager has spent a bit of money, so they’re obviously one of the ones that are fancied to do something.

“But everybody in that division is capable of beating everyone else, which was proved last week. I know Kelty had a man sent off, but for Annan to win 5-1 shows what can happen.

“But we just need to concentrat­e on ourselves and get players back fit.”
