Broughty Athletic manager Kenny Cameron's post match comments are always delivered in an assured manner. Not sure if the same can be said for former Middlesbrough and England manager Steve McClaren, whose return to FC Twente (and reprise of the world's worst Dutch accent) might be proving a bit more stressful than expected if this pre-interview clip is anything to go by...

This week's odds from McBookie.com for East Region fixtures and Emirates Scottish Junior Cup replays, to be played on Saturday 4 February, are now available as a download. Please see the side menu on this site.

Nineteen year old Ross Browne has joined Broughty Athletic on loan from Lochee United.

The London-born defender, who signed for the Thomson Park club in mid-July 2011 from Dundee North End, was an impressive member of the North End side team which six weeks earlier had triumphed over the Fed in the 2011 GA Engineering Cup Final at Downfield Park.

“We include Gavin Burns, who has returned after a loan spell with North-End, and Ross Browne, who has joined on loan from Lochee United,” advises Manager Kenny Cameron. “We also include a trialist.”

"The boys have worked hard this week in training and we are all now looking forward to this Saturday's game at Broxburn."
