“If we can get a win it could send us on a run.

“We need to get a win, and it’s not going to be an easy game. I know they got beat at the weekend, but they drew with Petershill a few weeks ago so they must be decent.

“Hopefully we can get a wee result.”

Although McColl could clearly see there was no chance of their game going ahead, the cash-strapped club still had to pay a referee to officially postpone the clash.

McColl said: “It might have been a good time to get Drumchapel, playing on our park, which isn’t great, but the corner was waterlogged because of the rain from
