Nicky Walker in control
We welcome Lothian Thistle to City Park this weekend in the Quarter Final of the SFA South Regional up. Having beaten Eyemouth and Dalbeattie to get to this stage, we now face the Saughton side who put out current Premier league champions Whitehill Welfare in the previous round.
Mike Lawson and Sam Lynch have a near full squad to select from and new signing Sam Woods could feature in the 16. With a very tough trip to Elgin just two weeks away the co-managers could use this game to continue to find the strongest side.
The returning Keith McLeod was on the score sheet last week but good performances from Struan Preston and the ever hard working and dangerous Nicky Walker should give a welcomed headache up front.
Manson and Henretty were rested last week due to slight knocks however both players could feature this weekend.
Manager Mike Lawson said earlier this week he expected a tough game from a side with nothing to prove
“It’s a cup-tie, all the pressure is on the home side so we can expect a stress free, enthusiastic performance from our visitors which will test the ability of a Spartans squad which is slowing coming together”.
Kick off this Saturday is at 13:30 and if the result is level after ninty minutes we will have extra time and if needed, a penalty shoot out.
