East Kilbride Thistle and Cambuslang Rangers will come together to remember their former player and manager, Alan Paterson, with a memorial match next month.

Paterson, who hailed from The Murray, tragically passed away in September at the age of just 44. The father of two’s sudden death shocked the community and tributes from across the amateur game and the West of Scotland Football League flooded in for the Royal Mail postal worker.

Now a team of Thistle and Camby legends will face each other at the Showpark on Saturday, June 10, kick-off 2pm, for the Alan Paterson Memorial Cup, where funds raised will go towards grassroots football.

Jags legend John Brogan will take the home team, while former Thistle gaffer and current Cambuslang Rangers co-boss Billy Campbell will manage the visitors.
