What a morning for Toryglen Thistle! The Premier League team put on an absolute masterclass of dominant football, securing their place in the 3rd Round of the Cinema Cup with a truly emphatic 8-0 victory over Rosebank United.

The scoreline speaks for itself, but the nature of the performance was what truly impressed. While Rosebank United, who ply their trade two divisions below Toryglen in the Conference League, fought hard, the gap in quality and current form was simply too wide to bridge. Toryglen, currently flying high in the Premier League, showed exactly why they are a force to be reckoned with this season.

The goals started early and didn’t let up. MacGregor got the ball rolling in explosive fashion with a stunning quick-fire brace in the 7th and 8th minutes, immediately setting the tone for the match. Pellow added another just before the break, giving Toryglen a comfortable 3-0 lead at half-time.

However, the second half belonged to one man: McGillivray. He unleashed a phenomenal display of clinical finishing, bagging a massive five goals in a dominant 31-minute spell!
