Top meets second this weekend as Park Sports Project face Rutherglen Glencairn AFC. PSP hold an eight-point lead on 43, but Rutherglen’s games in hand keep the gap tight.

A win for PSP would strengthen their grip at the top of the league, while Rutherglen know three points would significantly close the gap and keep the pressure on.

Rutherglen Glencairn AFC have five games in hand — results there could close the gap quickly.

LAST MEETING

The last time these two sides met back in November, they played out a thrilling 3-3 draw — a result that underlines just how evenly matched they are. With both teams boasting serious attacking quality, there’s every reason to expect another open and high-scoring encounter.

THE GAFFERS

Managers Alan Sharp and Thomas Quinn know each other well, adding another layer to the contest. Neither will need extra motivation, but both will be keen to get one over on a familiar opponent in such a crucial fixture.

STAND OUT PLAYERS

There’s no shortage of firepower on either side. Rutherglen can call on Dylan Henry, William Stalker and Leroy Smith — all proven attackers capable of turning a game in an instant.

Park Sports Project are just as dangerous going forward, with Vlad Mendes, Smart and Chrissy Shields forming one of the most potent attacking units in the league.

LATEST RESULTS

Both teams come into the game off the back of contrasting results. Rutherglen suffered a 5-2 defeat to Cambuslang FA Milan and will be looking for a response, while PSP edged a tight 3-2 win over Clydebank Red Star to maintain their momentum at the top.

SUPER COMPUTER

With attacking talent all over the pitch and recent history suggesting goals are guaranteed, this one has all the ingredients of a classic. The supercomputer makes Rutherglen slight favourites at 55%, but it’s a call that could easily go either way.
