Another Saturday of GCFA football — and the points matter everywhere. Titles, promotion spots, and positioning all in play across the divisions.
PREMIER LEAGUE FIXTURES
The Big Game : Corinthians v Islands
Recent meetings between these sides have favoured the home team, but the wider context sits inside a tighter Premier League picture.
Corinthians currently hold third place on 25 points from 14 matches. Glasgow Island sit fourth on 22 points from 12 — two games fewer and a higher points-per-game return than their hosts.
That gap is three points, not a separation. With fixtures uneven across the top four, this result feeds directly into the wider State of Play in the title race.
Corinthians can open a six-point gap.
Glasgow Island can cut it to three and protect their games-in-hand position..
The table does not settle here — but it shifts here.

Hugh’s Call
Corinthians at home, three points ahead, and having played more games — they know the value of this one.
Glasgow Island’s games in hand make this tighter than the table suggests, but home advantage and current position give Corinthians the edge.
Hugh’s lean: Corinthians — narrowly.
State of Play
Top of the table
Park Sports Project lead on 29 points from 13 games.
Nethercraigs AFC are one point behind, but have played one more (14).
Corinthians sit third on 25 from 14.
Glasgow Island are fourth on 22 from just 12 — two games fewer than most around them.
That’s tight.
CHAMPIONSHIP FIXTURES
Third Lanark Amateurs v Greater Croftpark Rose
A solid Championship fixture.
Third Lanark sit second on 24 points from 11 games.
Greater Croftpark Rose are on 16 from the same number played.
That’s an eight-point gap.
For Third Lanark, it’s about maintaining pressure at the top.
For Croftpark, it’s a chance to narrow the gap and strengthen their position in the middle group.
No big narrative needed.
Just two sides in the same division with clear objectives.
That’s what makes it solid.
CONFERENCE LEAGUE FIXTURES
Queen’s Park SFC v Westhill United AFC isn’t a headline grabber, but it’s quietly one of the more interesting fixtures on the card. Westhill sit second on 27 points from 11 games, while Queen’s Park are fifth with 20 from 14. A win for Westhill keeps them within touching distance of Remo at the top. A win for Queen’s Park narrows that gap and pulls them closer to the teams above. Not dramatic — just one of those games that nudges the table either way.
Four seasons in and the GCFA Conference still finds ways to make Saturdays matter.
Itt’s not noise. It’s not hype. It’s competitive football — points earned, positions fought over, reputations built the hard way.
This league is historic for a reason. It’s iconic because it’s earned that label. And this season? As tight as we’ve covered.
Hugh will be watching the numbers.
You handle the football.
