The Premier League side delivered a dominant performance to comfortably book their place in the next round, much to the delight of their manager, Nim Roy.

Defensive Rock James Wright Takes Top Honour

While the scoreline points to an offensive masterclass, the Pollokshields United defence was equally impressive, and it was centre-back James Wright (#5) who earned the Player of the Match accolade.

Wright, named in the starting XI along with teammates like Murray Rankin (GK), Jerry Agblor, and captain Dec McCafferty, put in a sterling defensive display to keep the opposition at bay.

The comprehensive win, with a full-time score of Lomond Th Thistle Colts 1-7 Pollokshields Utd, is a massive boost for the club’s trophy aspirations this season.

James [Wright] was immense at the back and fully deserved his Man of the Match award.”
