Today marks the culmination of our pre-season preparations as we take on higher-division Premiership side, West Allotment Celtic. This promises to be our most challenging friendly fixture yet, providing the perfect benchmark before the competitive season officially gets underway.
Stepping up to face a Premiership team means we will need to rely heavily on our core togetherness and team spirit. Itโs a fantastic opportunity to test our passing game under elevated pressure against top-tier opposition. The squad’s focus remains on playing from the back where possible, progressing forward together as a cohesive unit, and maintaining controlled possession. We know it will be a tough battle, but we are ready to be highly competitive and show our character on the pitch.
