He said: “They’ve been the team all season in the league but it’s a good challenge. You want to go and play the best teams anyway; if you’ve any aspirations at all about being up at the top of the league you need to go and compete with the likes of Cambuslang and St Roch’s.

“We obviously had a good result at St Roch’s a couple of weeks ago so the boys will be going into the Cambuslang game full of confidence.

“There isn’t any reason why we can’t go and get a result there.

“It’s just a confidence thing in our league. You get on a run and you just turn up to games expecting to win every week and they’ve been scoring a lot of goals.

“But we’re strong defensively, I think we proved that [against St Roch’s] with Steven Tart back to his best form and if he goes and plays like that I’m pretty sure we’ll be stronger defensively as a unit and as a team.

“I know we’ve got players that can hurt them. I know most of their players and they’ve obviously proved themselves this year but we don’t go there with any fear.”
