SQUAD OF THE WEEK – SAT 18Th October 2025

Four seasons in and the Squad of the Week has grown arms, legs, and opinions.

That’s where Hugh Dunnit steps in.

He doesn’t do polite applause — he picks the lads who made things happen: effort, impact, and a touch of grit. No heatmaps. No faff. Just standards.

Hugh Dunnit — GCFA Team of the Week

#GCFAAlive #SaturdayMorningFootball #ScottishAmateurFootball #AmateurFootball

Andrew Patterson – Greater Croftpark Rose

RB – Derek Elder – Rutherglen Glencairn AFC

Turns up, gets it done, nae drama. Been steady for weeks and capped it with a MOTM display.

CB – Aaron McFadyen – Camby Milan

Battled against long balls all day, won everything in the air, then scored the winner. “That’s how you silence route one.”

CB – Ciaran McMahon – Remo FC

A proper centre-half — aggressive, dominant, and doesn’t overthink it. “Takes nothing for granted.”

LB – Marc McKay – Bishopton FC

Worked his flank up and down, grabbed an assist, and filled in midfield late on. The kind of shift that earns respect, not headlines.

RM – Andy Lindsay – Toryglen Thistle

Goal, assist, threat from the first whistle. “You make something happen in the first ten minutes — half the job’s done.”

CM – Lewis Barr – Remo FC

Ran the game, scored, and drove the comeback. “Every team needs one who just refuses to lose.”

CM – Seoras – Burnhill FC

Played out of position and still bossed it. “Football brain, doesn’t hide, does the dirty and the tidy.”

LM – Mo Benghellab – Greater Croftpark Rose

Another screamer when it counted. “Big moments need big characters — he’s been that for weeks.”

🔁 Bench

Graeme Milne (Rossvale Huntershill) – shoot-out hero

Kyle Cameron (Knightswood) – quiet destroyer at full-back

Ali Naysmith (Lokomotiv) – hat-trick of assists, playmaker’s brain

Ethan Furze (Bishopton) – two goals and pure graft

Well, if there’s one manager who needs a trophy cabinet just for match balls, it’s the gaffer down at Rhu. His side didn’t just beat fellow Championship team Woodbank in the West of Scotland Cup—they gave them an absolute footballing lesson, running out 5-1 winners at Ardenconnell Park.

Woodbank arrived hoping for a tight cup tie. They left needing a GPS to find their way home, possibly having experienced a collective case of whiplash from watching the ball hit the back of their net five times. When the final whistle blew, the scoreline looked less like a football result and more like the answer to an existential question Rhu was asking of their opponents.

Let’s be clear: this wasn’t a fluke. five goals against a team at your own level speaks to a level of preparation—or perhaps, some highly effective psychological warfare—that deserves serious credit.

The manager has clearly worked wonders. He’s got the team firing on all cylinders, demonstrating that when Rhu turns up, the opposition is simply there to make the goalscorers look good.
