Looking like a 3 way fight between Clyde, Stranraer and Bonnyrigg and Stranraer play the other 2 teams in their next 2 games.
Won't be a dull end to the season for them.

Callum Elliot taking over at Bonnyrigg ?
Was on the cards as they’ve been dropping like a stone in the league. I think they’ve been loyal to him given what he’s done, possibly too loyal. They could have made a change after he kept them in the league last year. It always had the look of a manager that had probably went as far as they could with a team.
Anybody notice an upturn in our jambo pals having a beef with Steve Clarke?
Think he’s done a tremendous job for us and the recent run is mostly down to the calibre of opposition, apart from last night obviously.
I’ve been quite surprised at the hostility towards him until I realised nearly everyone complaining about him appears to be jambos.
Think it is down to Shankland not getting enough game time but also Gordon or Clarke not getting a shot in goals recently, seems to be a bit of a suggestion he thinks they’re all hearts *****. Hard to disagree with him really.
I don’t think the goalkeeping situation is that weird, Gunn is the number 1 so he played the games. Pretty sure Pickford played both games for England as well, I’m sure that’s the case with most teams who played two games. The third choice goalie at a tournament is essentially there for the training drills and is extremely unlikely to play, he probably took the 4 goalies to help him decide who is the best fit for that role.
Shankland thing I agree with you and the hearts *******s but I don’t think it’s a sackable offence, Dykes has served Scotland and Clarke well, he was always going to give him a fair crack of the whip in the build up to the tournament.
Shankland should have started against NI
Everyone knows what you get from dykes
Very poor run of results/form currently and a big concern. Must restore some confidence in the final two games.
I do agree that Shankland should probably have started, but this was just a friendly, nothing more. If he's the best Scottish striker at the moment then maybe Clarke didn't want to risk him getting injured in a meaningless friendly, I dunno. The other way of looking at it is to say Shankland missed a really pretty easy chance to score and in the Eoros we can't afford to miss opportunities like that.
Shankland showed some nice touches against Holland but he's slower than a week in the jail. Another problem we have is Christie's international form if he's supporting the man up front. He's been abysmal.
Adams is obviously the best of the 3 but needs a partner. Clarke played him up there with Dykes in the past. Maybe worth trying it again.
Just noticed this is surely the wrong thread....what happened?!?
Shows how light we are in the final third. Christie plays deeper as anout and out midfielder for Bournemouth now and has some of the best stats in the league for winning the ball back and stuff like that. But then when he comes away with Scotland he’s one of our main attacking players.

Willie Kirk sacked by Leicester City Women after allegations he had a relationship with a player
According to reports Hecky is who Sunderland want as their manager. Not the best of jobs imo .
