Cambuslang Rangers give survival hopes a boost, but still face Clydebank sweat
Cambuslang Rangers gave their survival hopes a major boost with a shock 2-1 win over title-chasing Muirkirk, but will still face a sweat to see if they stay up.
Goals from Carlos Lyon and Fraser Robertson left Camby 13th in the West of Scotland Division, a point above Yoker Athletic, with three clubs currently going down to next season's Third Division.
McColl's side visit mid-table Bonnyton in Saturday's league finale, while Yoker clash with a Neilston side that must win if they are to be crowned champions.
That could leave the Wee Gers in a good position, but should Clydebank lose their play-off against East of Scotland club Musselburgh Athletic, that would leave an 'extra' club in the WoSFL, meaning four teams go down from each of the top three leagues.
Clydebank and Musselburgh play for a place in the Lowland League on May 17 and 25, with a number of clubs waiting on the outcome.
McColl said: 'It's a great result, and it has dug us out of a hole that we were in, because it means now that Yoker need to beat Neilston, who are a good side and going for the title.
'They will be out to win the title, while Yoker haven't won in eight games.
'But you just don't know what's happening with this stupid league.
'If we win or draw on Saturday, and Yoker get beat, and that confirms we're fourth-bottom, we need to then wait on Clydebank's play-offs to know what's happening, which is pathetic.
'After Saturday I want to say to players that I want to keep them for next season, but we can't do that, and players are players – within a week or two they'll leave.
'If we win, we'll be fine, and if we win by a decent score-line, and Forth lose a few goals and get beat, we could go above them.'
McColl missed Saturday's win as he attended a family wedding, but was pleased with the report he got from assistant Stevie Marsden.
Lyon had Camby ahead, Muirkirk missed a penalty, but levelled in 93 minutes – only for Robertson to add a clincher two minutes later.
McColl said: 'They pulled that one out of the bag, nobody expected that apart from me and Stevie, because we have that many good players.
'To be fair to Muirkirk, their manager Ross Cusick, sent me a text to say 'well done', so I hope they get promoted.
'That was a bit of class.'

Elgin City 0 East Kilbride 1: Kennedy not sentimental as Kilby claim first SPFL win
The League Two are up and running after a narrow success at Borough Briggs East Kilbride boss Mick Kennedy insists he's not sentimental about his side's first ever League Two win on Saturday, and is just happy to get three points at Elgin City. Nathan Flanagan scored directly from a corner 70 minutes into the clash at Borough Briggs to grab the only goal of the game, although Jack Leitch did have a fifth minute strike ruled out for a foul in the build-up. The win moves Kilby up to fifth in the table after a 3-1 defeat at home to 10-man Spartans in last week's opener. It's the first time that Kilby have registered a win in SPFL football, but Kennedy said: 'I don't really get caught up in nostalgic stuff like that, but I'm just delighted to get three points. 'After the result last week it was just good to get some points on the board, so we're delighted with that. 'It was a bit fortuitous, in that it's a great delivery, but the goalie maybe makes a bit of a bad judgement. 'But it was good for Nathan to get a goal and get his account up and running in the league as well. 'Elgin is a notoriously difficult place to go, with the travel and stuff, so I'm just delighted to leave with the three points.' He added: 'I thought we were really good in the first half and totally dominated the game. We should have created more. It was more scrappy in the second half and more competitive, we didn't have as much control. 'Elgin were very direct after the break but we defended our box very well. 'It was always going to be difficult after winning so comfortably here in the cup [a 4-1 win] last month.' Kennedy feels that East Kilbride haven't needed to make much of a step-up from the Lowland League to League Two, and reckons a few teams at that level could do well. He said: 'I don't think there's a significant difference between a lot of League Two and certain teams in the Lowland League. 'Maybe there's more quality across the whole board in League Two, but I wouldn't say it's significant. 'Maybe in League Two there's a wee bit more physicality and experience, because a lot of boys in the Lowland League are maybe dropping out of academies and trying to rebuild their careers and stuff like that, so there's quite a difference in that sense. 'But I'm just delighted to get three points.'

Spartans defeat good for East Kilbride, says boss as 'reality check' dished out
Mick Kennedy is taking the positives after his side lost at home on their SPFL debut, and now head to Elgin today looking for a win East Kilbride boss Mick Kennedy says their opening day humbling by Spartans could be a good thing as it serves as a reality check for his players. Tipped as title favourites, Kilby went down 3-1 in front of a sold-out home support, which also included special guests and Old Firm legends Ally McCoist and Paul McStay. It wasn't the start the Lowland League champions were looking for in League Two, but Kennedy feels it may serve them well in the long run. He said: 'With all the build-up, people saying we are favourites and then when we lose, everybody is having mass panic. 'But I don't think Saturday will be a bad thing because it should be a reality check for everyone. There is nothing wrong with being favourites, but if anyone thinks it is going to be easy, that's a different thing. 'It is probably not a bad thing for the players to lose that game because they have been so good in pre-season, they've had some good results in the cup campaign and, with the exception of the Inverness game, there's been a lot of positives. 'So this reminds them that they need to stand up and manage the expectations. There was a general flatness about us on Saturday, we weren't at it in terms of intensity, but that is all stuff we can fix. 'I know we've got a very strong group of players when everyone is back fit, so there are no issues there.' Kilby now make the long journey north today to face Elgin City, a side they have already beaten this season with a 4-1 win in the Premier Sports Cup last month, but Kennedy insists it will be a different game. He added: 'The challenge will be slightly different because when we played Elgin up there, they went after us for spells and we hurt them for that, so I would assume they'll set up differently. 'But the pressure is on. You don't want to be losing too many games early on, you want to build some momentum so we need to go and get a good result.'

Steven Pressley is preaching patience at Dundee – will he get it?
Unfortunately the rest of last season didn't go according to plan. Docherty ultimately lost his job for his team sliding backwards to tenth place, but while he deserves sympathy for the Luke McCowan sale to Celtic and some severe injury trouble along his backline – Clark Robertson, Joe Shaughnessy and Ziyad Larkeche all missed significant chunks of the season – there were a few issues which meant that, when Dundee did pull the trigger on firing their head coach, not everyone of a dark blue persuasion in the City of Discovery was entirely surprised. Even with injuries, there was still little excuse for the team shipping 145 goals in 76 league games across two seasons (an average of 1.9 per game), while many fans were getting fed up with his infatuation with the three-at-the-back formation, something which they felt contributed to their inability to keep the opposition score down. Sacking Docherty wasn't necessarily the wrong decision, at least not in isolation. But as is always the case, if you're going to make such a decisive call at the managerial level, you'd better get the next one right. Steven Pressley was not a popular appointment as Docherty's successor. Not only is he a former Dundee United player, he hadn't managed a team in six years prior to his appointment and lasted less than 12 months at each of his last three stops. But even the most trepidatious of fans wouldn't have expected the nightmare that has so far unfolded. Consecutive 1-0 defeats to Airdrieonians and Alloa Athletic had them out of the Premier Sports Cup before they'd even got going, while they were five minutes from drawing with Lowland League Bonnyrigg Rose. On the face of it, a 2-1 home defeat to Hibs in the Premiership home opener wasn't an awful scoreline. Since going down 4-1 at Dens last November, David Gray's side have only lost at Celtic Park (thrice) and Pittodrie (once) in domestic football. However, it was the manner in which the defeat occurred which rankled with home fans. Dundee allowed Hibs to have 68 per cent possession, mustered only two shots on goal and were fortunate not to lose by a greater margin. This was a Hibs team who played 120 gruelling minutes against Midtjylland three days prior, where they had their heart ripped out and showed to them in the dying seconds of extra-time. Yet instead of getting in their face and testing their mental (and physical) resolve, Pressley's men spent the entire game backing off, allowing Hibs to get comfortable with their surroundings and dominate the game. In last week's column I boldly predicted that Falkirk would finish bottom of the Premiership. Having watched both teams at the weekend, I now wonder whether I didn't fully appreciate the extent of the mess Dundee are in. Curious tactics aside, the team certainly appeared weaker than the spirited Falkirk squad that twice came back to draw with Dundee United. Ethan Ingram and Imari Samuels starting at the wing-back positions was a huge red flag, considering neither appeared to be the required quality at this level last term. In between them was a centre-back trio that contained Robertson and Ryan Astley, who failed to impress in 2024/25, while the early signs weren't great for new strike-partnership Emile Acquah and Ashley Hay. There's been a stark contrast in how the two Dundee rivals have approached squad-building this summer, and not just with regards to the quickness of getting deals done. Six of Dundee's eight new additions have arrived from English clubs, while Dundee United have (infamously) done most of their shopping abroad. Their non-Scots XI against UNA Strassen in the Europa Conference League provoked a furious reaction from some quarters, due to a perception that they're needlessly blocking pathways for young Scottish players. Yet United have insisted they've largely looked outwith UK borders to get better value for money, believing that the inordinate wages down south are pricing out most of the players who would be worth having. That would marry with Pressley's frustrations, expressed this week. The head coach insists they're still trying to bring in another five players before the end of the window, which is why the manager is preaching patience to anyone within the support who still has the mind to listen, but he admits it's been a difficult process with key targets opting to move elsewhere. The 51-year-old didn't inherit the best of situations, with 11 first-team players (and at least seven regular starters) all leaving this past summer. But the approach to replacing them has been slow and, thus far, underwhelming. Furthermore, we're already in August and Dundee don't just need squad fillers. They need quality starting players. That's increasingly difficult at this late juncture. At least there is Simon Murray to come back. He single-handedly kept his boyhood favourites above water last term and it seems like he'll be given a similarly Ethan Hunt-esque mission this time around. Though asking a 33-year-old to carry ten other guys on his back doesn't sound like the most full-proof of plans. Next up for the Dees is a trip to Ibrox, which is then followed by a visit to Kilmarnock before United cross Tannadice Street for the first derby of the campaign. If there are still zero points on the board at the end of August then the supporters will already be fully mutinous. Would it be enough to move chief executive John Nelms into making a change of manager? The American has certainly never been shy of making some bold managerial calls before, such as binning James McPake following successive victories and dispensing with Gary Bowyer after he'd won the second-tier crown. One suspects he is committed to the fresh strategy of focusing intensely on player development. Rolled out earlier this year, it was a key driver in bringing Pressley in from Brentford – where he was literally in charge of player development – so you'd maybe expect a bit more leeway as Nelms, whether publicly or privately, explains away this sombre start as nothing more extreme than growing pains. Lending credence to this theory is the two and three-year contracts they've been giving out to some of the new recruits as Pressley stresses the importance of continuity. But while Nelms will wish to hold a steely resolve and see this plan through, it's easier said than done when the rest of the league is once again pointing and laughing; the intensity of such will only grow with each passing defeat. Pressley has stated this is a process. If he wants to be around for its conclusion he's going to have to hurry it along.
