John MacLeod hopes Buckie Thistle can give Celtic a fright with the backing of scary Stephen King. The iconic horror novelist is a fan of the Highlanders and has made reference to the club in his books, keeps in touch with their results and regularly mentions them on social media.
King will be following the script at Parkhead on Sunday as Buckie attempts to give Brendan Rodgers a nightmare. MacLeod hopes Thistle could write their own story in Glasgow and smiled: “I have never read a book in my life.
The whole week has been a bit mad for everybody involved with the club.” Thistle aren’t scared as he continued: “We have no fear.
It's eleven versus eleven. One bad decision and they could go down to 10 men and anything could happen. The joy of the cup was always about playing against players that you have never played against before.
