DEF – Samora Malinki – Remo FC
Samora was brilliant at the weekend winning all his defence duels and was a real rock at the back. Earned a well deserved MOTM
Mark started at right back and was moved to centre back, after Tyler went off injured. Mark would quite literally run through a wall for the team, so it was great to see him scoring the equaliser to get us a point.
Josh has been in and out the squad but got his well earned start on Saturday and grabbed it with both hands. The defender won every header and was all over the park chasing through balls and controlling the back line with good communication and leadership.

Dean slotted straight into our midfield and delivered a fantastic performance against Burnhill, winning the ball and clearing up everything in the middle of the park.

Ben played a massive part in getting us back into the game we were 3-1 down and Bens willingness to press and make it difficult for Rossvale’s midfield and defence was to be admired from the side. It’s great to see him back playing to his potential after a long lay off through injuries.
Chrissy has been off the boil last few weeks however on saturday he was incredible, The Toryglen fullbacks are still trying to chase him around just now. The winger worked extremely hard for the team for the full 90, winning a crucial penalty at an important time of the game and in true chrissy fashion missed an absolute sitter but the 2 assists will have to do this week.
