You can feel it when the fixtures fall just right — a mix of old rivalries, fresh stories and a few early-morning question marks about who’s actually going to show up switched on.

A few postponements thin out the card, but what’s left is worth the short drive and a flask refill. The big one sits at Nethercraigs: Pollokshields United hosting Barrhead United, two top-half sides with firepower and plenty still to prove. Merklands has its own pull too — Maryhill Milan against North End United — with both carrying momentum after patchy starts.

Elsewhere, Castlemilk Community face Fairhill AFC at Barlia, a fixture that often comes with a bit of edge, while Toryglen gets an early one as Glasgow on the Ball meet Polonia Glasgow.

Top scorers are spread right across the park this season: Bartosz Nowak’s eleven for Polonia, Jamie Gray’s eight for Barrhead, and the Todholm pair Declan Harvey and Ryan Officer both on seven. Up top, Glasgow North and Todholm remain perfect — fifteen points from fifteen — but neither will kick a ball today after weather hit their tie.
