There was a sense around Scotstoun this weekend that Woodbank needed a response.

New signing Marc Louge has barely settled into the dressing room, yet he already looks comfortable in Woodbank colours.

The centre-back stepped forward at a key moment to create the winning goal in a tight contest. For a defender, it was the kind of contribution that builds trust quickly.

If Louge’s impact was immediate, Stephen McFall’s display carried its own significance.

After a challenging spell, McFall produced a sharp, instinctive double — both finishes taken with confidence and clarity. His movement was direct, his decision-making quick.

The reaction from teammates said enough. It mattered.

For Woodbank, this was more than just three points. It was evidence of improvement:

• Defensive stability from a new arrival

• Goals from a forward rediscovering rhythm

• A collective performance built on work rate and uorganisation

No bold claims. No grand declarations.

Just a win that suggests progress.
