Cumbernauld Colts and Clyde to face Stirling Albion and St Mirren in NL Cup at Broadwood

It had been feared that organisers Colts would be forced to hunt for alternative opponents because local Covid regulations would prevent St Mirren and Stirling Albion taking part.

But they have now been confirmed as able to participate and the event will go ahead – behind closed doors – as originally scheduled on September 26 and 27.

Colts will face Stirling Albion in the opening match on Saturday, kick-off 1.30pm, with Clyde taking on St Mirren’s Colts at 4pm.

Sunday will see the two losers face each other in a third-place match before the winners meet for the inaugural NL Cup.

Although no fans will be admitted to the stadium, it is hoped that the action can be livestreamed, although this has yet to be confirmed.
