Second-placed Watsonians entertain FSEG Clydesdale at Peffermill on Saturday (14.30) keen to remain in the top three in the men’s Premiership after back-to-back wins, 7-0 over Dundee Wanderers and 3-1 at Inverleith last Saturday.
There can be no slip-ups as pace-setting Western Wildcats have an unblemished record of nine points from three straight wins, 2-0 over Grove Menzieshill, 4-0 at Dundee Wanderers and 4-0 at Clydesdale.
Defending champions, Grange, like Watsonians, have six points from two games, a 3-0 victory at home to Dunfermline Carnegie and 3-2 success at Erskine Stewart’s Melville (ESM), coming from behind late on to take the points.
Martin Shepherdson, Grange’s team manager, said ESM played really well and are a much-improved team, but his players were unhappy with the performance and their failure to convert chances. The club still have a number of absentees through injury.
Western are at home to second bottom Inverleith (13.00, Auchenhowie) while Grange entertain Grove Menzieshill (13.30, Fettes) who held The University of Edinburgh 1-1 on Tayside last weekend.
The University of Edinburgh, who are fifth, are also at home at Peffermill and they entertain pointless bottom club Dundee Wanderers (13.20) while ninth-placed Erskine Stewart’s Melville host Dunfermline Carnegie, one of four clubs who have yet to register a point. The Fifers are tenth.
The other fixture sees mid-table Uddingston at home to fourth-placed Hillhead (15.00).
