No league table has been added for this season.
Since our cup win over Ayr United; the big talking point has, of course, been our 2nd Round draw with Celtic at Parkhead. No one can deny this is the toughest game for any club to tackle in the cup... against the cup holders away from home. While it is only a matter of five weeks ago since we crashed 7-2 at Parkhead, I hold the view a cup-tie is a completely different proposition and a league performance, no matter how recent, is no yardstick. I am in no doubt Celtic will find us a side in a different frame of mind and, with Dunfermline's great effort last week in mind, we are aiming to "have a real go". Of course we have been tagged as underdogs already... a team with no chance if you like... but in cup games nothing is certain.
Earlier this season, as a "no-chance" side, we travelled to Newcastle and shocked a lot of people by holding the Fairs Cup holders comfortably, Admittedly we fell by a last second goal, but the result was far from the landslide that was expected. And next Saturday we will tackle this Cup game with the same spirit, remembering we have less to lose than our opponents. This afternoon we welcome Morton, the side who inflicted a 6-0 defeat over us early in the season. Today's game is an excellent build-up for the cup, and with the chase for Fairs Cup places really warming up, a victory is top priority.
