All to play for in national league title race

-

Highs and lows are the focal points in today’s fixture card with all to play for as the national league title will be won or lost somewhere in Glasgow.

Back-to-back champions Edinburgh University had one hand on their third successive crown before arch rivals Clydesdale Western threw the outcome back into the melting pot with a 2-0 triumph in last week’s headto-head.

The students still have the upper hand courtesy of a two point lead plus an unassailab­le goal difference.

However their scrap at Auchenhowi­e is fraught with danger since hosts Wildcats will be equally driven as they seek to confirm their place in the European play-off line ups. Meanwhile at Titwood Clydesdale are hot tips to snaffle all three points from their clash with Dundee Wanderers. The Taysiders’ recent indifferen­t form has seen them drop down to sixth in the table but still well clear of the relegation dogfight.

Grove Menzieshil­l’s weekend mission is to maintain interest in finishing third. They should collect all six points on offer without too much difficulty away to Hillhead today before GHK are guests at DISC tomorrow.

St Andrews University have avoided the drop from Division 2 however their peers from Dundee fell through the trapdoor some time ago.
