Such a fine servant

Head coach Alan Clark has thanked departing first team skipper Ryan Miller for his fine service.

“Ryan has been fully committed,”Clark said.

“He travelled up from Stirling every Tuesday and Thursday, then made himself available for all the away games on a Saturday.

“National three is a long way to travel sometimes.

“It was fantastic from him because he quite easily could have wandered down to Stirling County and got a game there.

“But he has been completely loyal across the past five years. We obviously wish him all the best with his new life, family and moving back down to his roots which I’m sure he’ll enjoy.

“He has been great for us and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. He will be a miss.”

While Miller won’t be around the North Inch on a weekly basis, Clark believes his experience will have rubbed off.

“The good thing about him is, because he is such a personable guy, the younger players have been able to learn a lot from him on the way through,”Clark said.

“Hopefully what he has done has rubbed off.’’
