sctv Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Carluke Rovers boss is looking forward to locking horns with Gartcairn for the fifth time this season Colin Slater's Carluke Rovers side take on Gartcairn in a Scottish Junior Cup fifth-round replay on Saturday Colin Slater's Carluke Rovers side take on Gartcairn in a Scottish Junior Cup fifth-round replay on Saturday NORMALLY a Scottish Cup draw away from home would be celebrated with no little elation by the visiting side' however Carluke Rovers boss Colin Slater was seen to cut a frustrated figure in the aftermath of last Saturday’s 2-2 stalemate against Gartcairn. And little wonder given the notable result was tinged with more than a little regret after his playing charges failed to make the most of facing a considerably weakened opponent…reduced to 10 men…following the 28th minute dismissal of John Henderson for an 'over-robust' tackle on Rovers midfield playmaker Mark Haddow. Initially, all had looked to be going to plan when the Rovers went 2-1 ahead through a stunning John Renwick strike, however the home team bagged a quickfire penalty-kick equaliser to earn parity and came close to winning the tie outright particularly after Renwick went from saint to sinner with a scything challenge that earned him a red card. So is the long-serving Carluke gaffer looking forward to yet another locking of horns with his club’s Central Second Division rivals - a fifth meeting of the season to date? “We’ve certainly no reason to be running scared of the prospect,” revealed the former centre-back. “I think it’s fair to say we started poorly and Gartcairn held the upper hand over the early stages but Ian Watt’s equaliser lifted us and we were boosted further by the Gartcairn player getting his marching orders even though we were forced to replace the injured Haddow. “But we just didn’t make use of our numerical advantage because the guys resorted to going too long with hopeful punts upfield and that made it easy for big Kevin Ross to shine at the heart of their defence. “Nevertheless at 2-1 up, the guys were almost there but then we criminally conceded a penalty-kick within two minutes of taking the lead and that goal took the wind out of our sails while at the same time firing up Gartcairn whose own hopes soared when John walked for launching into an unnecessary challenge. “No more goals were scored in the run-up to the final whistle but long before then Davie Greig and myself had settled for a second bite at the cherry. “It’s a third time on the trot we will be going up against each other but Saturday was a great advert for the Juniors and a decent cup game into the bargain so I’m sure a big crowd will be in attendance hoping for more of the same.” Word on the Carluke team front reckons experienced defender Renwick is set to be posted missing through suspension while Haddow is facing a race against time to be passed fit. Slater added: “We can reshuffle things at the back to cover for John but Mark is extremely doubtful at best and we also have a worry over Mark Weir who never trained on Monday night because of a slight tweak in his hamstring.” Certain to be one of the first names down on the Carluke team sheet is that of top marksman Ian “Chalky” Watt, scorer of Carluke’s first goal at the MTC stadium with a flighted shot into the top corner that Gartcairn gaffer Greig described as 'one of those cross cum shots' that paid off. Said The one-time Queen's Park hitman, who has bagged 22 goals this season, said: “It was a goal from the moment the ball left my foot and definitely meant. “Yes there was an element of luck but if you don’t try then you don’t get in this game and I’ll be trying my best to get on the scoresheet again in the replay. “We’re expecting a tough 90 minutes but hopefully the hard bit is done and we can do the business at our place.” The visit through to the John Cummings Stadium is not causing seasoned boss Greig to have sleepless nights even though he is resigned to being without Henderson as well as experienced campaigner Lee McShane whose dismissal from the bench for his protests when Gartcairn claims for a penalty-kick were turned down is also set to incur a ban. Greggy insisted: “The pressure is all on Carluke as they are favourites to come out on top playing at home but it must be a concern to big Colin that his players couldn’t see us off with a man advantage for almost an hour. “Our guys are just delighted to still be in the cup and they have fully earned a second shot under the spotlight on account of the battling spirit and resilience shown in the first game. “The club has made the fantastic gesture of laying on a free bus for supporters and hopefully the healthy crowd and great atmosphere at last week’s game is replicated again.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went 1 up before Chucky equalised and then we went down to 10 men after 35 minutes. Carluke took the lead with a wonder strike early in the 2nd half before we scored a pen. Carluke were reduced to 10 men with 5 to go but neither team found a winner. from our point just happy we are still in it. Before the sending off we in my opinion were the better team and could have been 2 or 3 up but Carluke looked as if they had it won when 2 1 up and us down to 10. We really do like a fight as we have proved in our last 5 games and delighted we kept ourself in the tie Good to hear 'Chucky' is starting to display the kind of form which kept him at Rangers for many years before moving to Queens Park.

T3ry12345 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Hopefully gartcairn move there next round tie away from there stadium as that ground would never cope with a decent crowd, never a junior ground. Great for carluke and gartcairn to get the cup run but league is bred and butter n can see carluke leaving gartcairn behind in the promotion race. All the best in the next round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol.Am not a great fan of Gartcairn, but they not even get a home draw in the next round for their ground to be an issue. Congratulations to them on getting this far, outstanding achievement for a Central league division two club, far bigger clubs would rip their arm off to be this far in the competition.
