Manager Gary Bollan and first team stars Iain Russell and Keaghan Jacobs got their hands on the William Hill Scottish Cup, when it paid a visit to first team training at Albyn Park this morning.

There's just two days to go until our bid to win the national competition gets underway against Irvine Meadow XI at the third round stage.

Preparation for the match, our first ever competitive clash with junior opposition, has been thorough as Bollan confirmed today.

He said: "Any match against a team from a lower division has the potential to be a banana skin and we need to approach the game in the right manner.

"We've had Meadow watched a few times and we'll treat this game just like any other Saturday afternoon in the First Division."
