It appears that our old time rivals are about to return to their roots as a mediocre Highland League club with delusions of grandeur. Their 13 years of dismal failure in the lower reaches of the bottom tier have been an embarrassment to northern football. How could such a fate have befallen this 'sleeping giant' of the game? One could be tempted to ponder 'how the mighty have fallen', but in truth they never even managed to take off.
How does everyone feel about this? Personally I wanted to see them progress into the higher divisions and raise the profile of the northern game. A few more derbies other than our solitary Scottish Cup meeting would've been a bonus. At least we can take consolation in the fact that they're likely to be replaced by another Highland league club who'll hopefully fly the flag much better than they did.
