Rutherglen Glencairn 9 Larkhall Thistle 0 – 28th July 2018

New Southcroft Park, Rutherglen
Rutherglen Glencairn v Larkhall Thistle
Sectional League Cup

 

Thistle’s first competitive game under the new management provided a look at what might be expected in the coming season and the early signs are it’s going to be an uphill struggle. Glencairn were four up inside 18 minutes and the signs were that it was only going to get worse but to their credit the young Thistle team steadied the ship and saw out the rest of the half on more or less even terms, albeit with the keeper pulling off a couple of very good saves.

 

Half time: Rutherglen Glencairn 4 Larkhall Thistle 0

 

Two early second half goals for Glencairn took any sting out what was left of Thistle’s recovery ambitions and for the rest of the game it was damage limitation, three further goals could have been more but for more excellent work from the keeper.

 

Fair to say that the project still needs a bit of work.
