Glenrothes FC: Co-boss John Martin hoping his players improve 'small margins' to get out of rut in Premier Division

The weather-related postponement of Glenrothes FC’s away East of Scotland League Premier Division encounter against Crossgates Primrose last Saturday could be viewed as a blessing in disguise for the Warout Stadium side.

For Glens aces Callum Kinnes and Cammy Lumsden – unavailable last weekend as they were at a wedding and working respectively – are back in the squad this weekend as the third bottom side visit fifth-placed Sauchie Juniors for a league clash which kicks off at 2.30pm.

Glens go into the match in the relegation zone on six points from 10 matches, having lost all of their last four league outings.

"It’s good to have as many boys as you can available,” Glens co-boss John Martin told the Glenrothes Gazette. "It’s definitely a boost having Callum and Cammy back.

"Myself and Kev – fellow co-manager Kev Smith – spoke to the guys and we had a wee analysis session last Tuesday, just going over a few things that we kind of need to maybe tidy up.

"Hopefully if we can tidy up these wee errors that are costing us goals or points then we can start getting out of our wee rut and getting on a wee run.

"It’s very small margins that are costing us. We don’t turn into a bad team overnight.

"It’s virtually the same team who got us promoted last season and went on a nine-game unbeaten run. I’ve added a couple of guys in.

"Sauchie’s a good side with good players. I know their manager Fraz (Fraser Duncan) very well and he’ll have them well organised.”
