Rutherglen Glencairn assistant boss Joe Pryce concedes it will be difficult for his side to gain a promotion slot from the West of Scotland League First Division.
But he says they’ll back the players to come through their current sticky spell, which has seen them fall to three straight defeats in all competitions, two of which have been in the league.
Saturday’s 3-1 defeat at home to Bonnyton Thistle left them 10th in the league, and though they have games in hand over several teams above them, they’re nine points off third-placed Benburb.
