rutherglen Glencairn progressed in the Cinema Cup — but the focus afterwards was on standards rather than the scoreline.

Thomas Quinn on cinema cup success

On the performance and recent finishing:

“We were wasteful again on the ball even though we scored 6 we should have scored a few more but that’s me probably going overboard as we have been poor in front of goal the last few weeks.”

On rotation, competition and expectations:

“It’s an opportunity to rotate the squad, give boys minutes and stake a claim for a regular spot, so it’s up to the lads to prove to the gaffers they deserve a chance going forward. We want to win everything we enter as a club.”

On the league position and the bigger picture:

“Absolutely an opportunity as we’re sitting in a good spot but it’s up to you to take that opportunity and get up the table — no excuses. The league is a very high standard, especially this year, so we’ve given ourselves a great chance.”

On facing different opposition:

“Yes, it’s been good to play afternoon sides, test our quality against good opposition and also today against a really good young 21s side — I was very impressed with St Pats today.”

Progression secured.

Standards unchanged.

Six goals don’t lower expectations.

Rutherglen see the opportunity — in the squad and in the table.

Now it’s about taking it.
