Century Seekers

The second of three home games on the bounce has Cove Rangers visiting the Caledonian SarensPSG Stadium on Saturday with both sides looking to pick up maximum points for different reasons. Could it be a milestone weekend for the Caley Jags as they look to score their 100th goal in all competitions this season? Can we do it? Can Billy Mckay add to his 130 goal tally for the Caley? Can we keep ahead of the Warriors? Can the wind and rain relent for the weekend? Can former County player turned referee handle this game? Can Suzi Quatro Can the Can? All will be revealed on Saturday...

We started this run with a hard fought draw at Palmerston where we led twice before being pegged back in a quality 2-2 draw. We beat East Fife comfortably 3-0 and followed that with our BBC Alba extravaganza at Broadwood (0-1). The next League game was that tough 1-1 draw with Stenny when we had Ben Brannan sent off with 20m left. On the Tuesday after we beat Ayr Utd 1-2 to progress into the KDM Trophy Final. A disappointing no scoring draw at Kelty followed where we struggled to create enough clear chances and allowed the pack to close in again before last weeks 3-1 home win over Montrose. With Stenny drawing and Alloa losing in midweek, we now have a smidgeon of breathing space going into this weekend. Our game in hand is away to Peterhead.

Congratulation to our top scorer Alfie Bavidge who was named SPFL League1 Player of the Month for February with three crucial goals. Jordan Alonge also deservedly got himself into the SPFL Team of the Week. The Caley Jags are unbeaten in their last 13 games over 90 minutes in all competitions, the last defeat was 2-1 at Montrose on 27th of December. And how about a special mention for the men at the back from Ross Munro out with 16 clean sheets

• Saturday v Cove:

• Bar 94 will open at 1200, with last orders at 1430 (bar vacated by 1445).

• 🚍 Stagecoach, buses will leave the Bus Station for the Stadium at 1245 and 1415.

Cove are battling for points at the wrong end of the table but pulled off a good win in the North East derby at home to Peterhead last Saturday. Peterhead then went on to thrash Alloa Athletic 3-1 on Tuesday night much to the delight of the top two in the table.

Cove started February with a decent 1-1 draw at home to QotS, Megginson the scorer. Defeat 2-1 at East Fife, Megginson again before a 3-1 midweek win over Montrose (O'Donnell x2 & McAllister) A 1-1 draw v Kelty (Masson), defeat at Ochilview by 1-0 and last time out 2-1 win over Peterhead (Yule & Maguire)

With East Fife in freefall, it looks like Cove will be spared the relegation play-offs. Ironically East Fife's only recent win was over Cove Rangers five games ago. However, every point is crucial as we all get down to the business end of the season and there are no easy games left for any side.

Mitch Megginson is always a danger with his experience, as is former Aberdeen striker Chris Maguire. On loan Adam Emslie has pace and needs to be kept quiet.

Keeper Robbie Mutch is in charge of the gloves at the moment since signing on at the start of this season and getting his chance in early September against the Caley Jags. Calum MacLeod beat him that day with Hungarian Bálint Demus on the bench.

Montrose v Alloa is the late fixture on BBC Alba
