The Hills Solicitors Colleges Premiership continues this Saturday, with Bishopton FC hosting Rutherglen Glencairn at Firhill Complex (10:00am).

Bishopton come into the game looking to steady their league position, while Glencairn arrive with one defeat in their last eight and sit inside the top half.

The Form Guide

Rutherglen Glencairn come into the fixture following a 3–2 win over PGBC Amateurs, adding to a run of results that has kept them in the top half of the table. Their form has included a mix of outcomes, but recent points have kept them in touch with the sides above them.

Bishopton FC, meanwhile, have taken fewer points in recent weeks and have slipped down the standings as a result. Consecutive defeats have left them needing a response, with defensive records across those games likely to be a focus going into Saturday.

Head-to-Head & League Standings

The sides have met once previously, with Rutherglen Glencairn recording a 4–1 win in that fixture. That result remains the only recent meeting between the two teams.

The Outlook

Rutherglen Glencairn currently sit 5th in the table, with one defeat from their opening eight league matches. Bishopton are placed 9th, having lost more than half of their fixtures so far this season..

The Unsung hero’s

Rutherglen Glencairn go into the weekend sitting 5th in the table, with one defeat from their opening eight league matches, and arrive with more points on the board than Bishopton. The bookmakers have Glencairn down as favourites, but previous results this season suggest Bishopton are capable of making this uncomfortable at home if chances are taken.

After seeing both clubs a number of times this season my pre match prediction is a Rutherglen Glencairn AFC win.
