Blue Toon on the up Off to Balmoor Stadium to play Peterhead this Saturday in what will be a tough test of our resolve given the Blue Toon's current surge up the table having won their last three fixtures. We did win the first meeting in the Highlands 2-0 whilst Peterhead were getting to grips with League1 football. A Sole goal and a Spoons strike were enough to take the points that day. Looks like it will be a more difficult proposition this time with Peterhead on a roll. Beware though, Benjamin is coming. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Match/Ticket/Bus Info Kim Paterson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our starting XI from last weeks home draw v Kelty Hearts. Ross Millen appears to be out for a couple of months after being injured at Forfar on KDM duty.

Calum MacLeod will no doubt continue to deputise at right back. Luis Longstaff hobbled off at half time against Kelty and may be a doubt. Injury latest “Luis Longstaff (dead leg) has made good progress, but he’ll be assessed before the match. We have one or two suffering with niggles who will also be assessed.” Meanwhile, everyone has benefitted from Accies being given a six point deduction for deceit. Cheating the whole League and SPFL by their scurrilous wheeling & dealing. This was no accident but it was fraudulent activity to deceive all. I feel there will be more to come on this despite Accies claiming they have done nothing wrong and will appeal the decision with the SFA. Meanwhile, Accies drop to sixth in the table and we now occupy second place.

Hamilton have now been deducted 6 points for signing professionals as amateurs and trialists during their transfer embargo. I can’t help but feel they’ve got off lightly here. They were also fined 20k which I don’t agree with. I do wonder though if this means there will be a mass exodus on their books. Surely if they continue to be paid then a further points deduction will come.
