A Son of the Rock

Scottish Cup*, Round Three, The Rock, 29/11/24

What a good result for our first game after entering administration. And we motored into it, two-nil up after thirteen minutes, three-nil in 39. Mohammed Niang, Jinky Hilton and Michael Ruth on the score sheet.

The copy book was blotted a bit by losing a goal just before half-time and another on 65 minutes but we held out for the win which puts us into the next round and gets us a bigger tranche of prize money.

There’s also the prospect of getting a Premiership team away from home and the potential of a big gate which wouldn’t do the finances any harm.

(Knowing our luck we’ll get the team placed lowest in the pyramid, Musselburgh Athletic, away instead.)
