Buckie Thistle get back to league matters in derby clash with Deveronvale

The Jags travel to Princess Royal Park to face the Banffers in one of the five league games that are still on.

Graeme Stewart is keen for Buckie Thistle to get back to the bread and butter of winning Breedon Highland League games after their Scottish Cup exploits.

The Jags face local rivals Deveronvale at Princess Royal Park today in a 2pm kick-off, which should hopefully avoid the frost that has been forecast.

Last weekend Buckie reached the Scottish Cup fourth round and were drawn against Celtic.

But boss Stewart is keen to focus on league business again and said: “The players’ attitude and work-rate is tremendous.

“The league is the bread and butter, we’re not winning the Scottish Cup, but we can win the league.

“The players want to win medals and you get judged at the end of your career on how many trophies you’ve won and their goal is to win things with Buckie.

“We can’t afford a day off and we need to be at it all the time.”

Although Deveronvale are 15th in the table, 10 places below their opponents, manager Craig Stewart is looking for the Banffers to be on the front foot.

He added: “We need to try to frustrate Buckie, but at the same time I don’t think sitting in suits us.

“I don’t think we’re a team that’s good at sitting in and soaking up pressure.

“We’re a team that needs to try to have a go and that’s what we’ll look to do.

“The players know the importance and they’re keen to put last weekend (3-0 loss to Inverurie Locos) behind them.”
