Professional mentality is growing at Glenrothes

The club announced recently that, as part of its on-going development, an under 20s team would hopefully enter the senior development ranks.

And this week the town side had confirmation from league chiefs that their application to enter the side into a high quality youth division had been accepted.

A club statement said: “Glenrothes FC are delighted to announce that our application to the Scottish Lowland Football Development League has been accepted.

“This is great news for our under 20s and like us I’m sure you would like to wish them the best of luck for the season ahead when it starts.”

Over the past couple of weeks Glens have been announcing a series of new signings for the under 20s side.

Off the park, the club also is continuing to develop.

Warout Stadium, the club’s base, has been given the Premier League treatment.

The dressing rooms have had a stunning facelift, old wooden benches and metal pegs replaced by cushioning for the players and even a TV screen.

The club spokesman added: “About four weeks ago the co-managers decided if they are going to challenge for things this year they need to create an environment and an atmosphere of challengers but more importantly winners.

“The idea was set that with all the other amazing work going on we need a changing room worthy of a senior football team, a changing room that matched the vision and more importantly matched the dream.”
