Two games are scheduled for a cold and frosty Friday night. If the weather holds, both carry clear league context — points at the top end, pressure at the other end, and mid-table positioning that still matters heading into the weekend.”

THE CONFERENCE LEAGUE (2 Friday night fixtures)

Cathcart AFC vs Glasgow Medics

8th plays 10th in a match that could define the mid-table struggle. Cathcart AFC are the league’s “all-or-nothing” team, having scored 36 but conceded 44.

The numbers point toward chances at both ends. The Medics arrive needing points to create a bit of daylight from the sides around them.

-Cathcart AFC 3 Glasgow Medics 3

Bearsden AFC Vs Cambuslang FA

Friday kicks off with a clash of two teams in desperate need of a spark. Bearsden AFC find themselves anchored to the bottom of the table with a solitary point. Their goal difference of -47 tells a story of a long season, but under the lights, anything can happen.

They face a Cambuslang FA side that is the league’s ultimate “wildcard.” With only 7 games played—fewer than anyone else—they sit in 6th. If they win their games in hand, they are genuine title contenders.

• Key Stat: Cambuslang have only conceded 19 goals; Bearsden have shipped 60.
