A weekend of big matches scheduled in Scottish National League 1

The match of the day in men’s National League 1 sees last season’s Champions and current league leaders Grange travel west to play second placed Hillhead. Grange are yet to taste defeat this season with draws against Clydesdale and Uddingston their only dropped points. A remarkable second half comeback against Grove Menzieshill, and indeed Western Wildcats earlier in the season, suggests that coach David Knipe has engendered resilience in his side.  Hillhead have had their best season under coach Mark Ralph and will be excited by the prospect of trying to topple the league leaders.  Coach Ralph was in bullish mood when asked to comment.  “Hillhead are confident after a solid performance against Clydesdale last week and will be looking to continue that form into the weekend.”  Grange despite being the away team will start the match as favourites.
