“It’s just the way it’s transpired that all the other teams have been allocated fixtures. There’s nothing we can do.

“We can’t play at home anyway because Cumbernauld are at home so we’re limited in what we can do.

“We’ll maybe book a park, it depends what the weather’s like, or maybe try and get a game if there’s anybody idle.”
