Lowland League General Discussion


FairWeatherFan

Recommended Posts

Celtic and Rangers in for one season turned out to be correct. Only because Hearts have joined the party. With debut seasons for Cowdenbeath and Tranent Juniors.

The SPFL fixture list is due out next week on the 17th. Which means the Lowland should follow about a week later.

  1. Berwick Rangers
  2. Bo'ness United
  3. Broomhill
  4. Caledonian Braves
  5. Celtic B
  6. Civil Service Strollers
  7. Cowdenbeath
  8. Cumbernauld Colts
  9. Dalbeattie Star
  10. East Kilbride
  11. East Stirlingshire
  12. Edinburgh University
  13. Gala Fairydean Rovers
  14. Gretna 2008
  15. Heart of Midlothian B
  16. Rangers B
  17. The Spartans
  18. Tranent Juniors
  19. University of Stirling

On paper it should be more competitive at each end this season. No clear favourite at the top.

Even at the bottom it might be less obvious. Dalbeattie Star have been gutted so far this close season. They've just lost Jack Dickinson and last season's top goalscoerer Russell Currie to league rivals Gretna 2008. More worryingly they've lost 6 regulars to WoSFL bound Threave Rovers.

Gary Miller (35) signs for East Kilbride from Falkirk FC.

Another signing to strengthen an already strong team. Reckon EK are making a big push this season to get a chance of Tier 4.

They do every year.

I presume that's David Allan from Cowdenbeath, where is John Clayton from?

John Clayton is Gala Fairydean (I think).

As is LL Chairman Thomas Brown. Does that mean that GFR gets three votes (including a casting vote) for any other contentious decisions?

Hearts Colts will be relatively shite and finish about 8th. Rangers and Celtic could easily be 1-2 though.

No Colts team will win the Lowland League.

Its part of the agreement with Maxwell and Doncaster to avoid a legal challenge

Are you suggesting that the SPFL, SFA and the two largest clubs in the country are engaging in match fixing?

Wasn't the Chairman from Gala and Vice-Chairman from East Kilbride? So either way it's a doubling the presence of a club on the board. Think it's just highlights how the League is struggling considering how toxic the job has become.

Vice chairman from EK stepped down at the AGM according to stuff published on Twitter.

Evidence is there from last season. Rangers were top of the lowland league when the awkward questions were asked of the LL Chairman about the agreement with SFA and was it ratified. Conveniently, Rangers then had a bad run of form and lost the lead of the league and never looked like regaining it.
