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...

Central League Champions in season 2010/11, promoted Oakley United have dropped only six Premier League points so far this season, remain undefeated and once again are heading in the right direction.
Oakley’s form in the last two seasons and during the current term is in contrast to their immediate history. Season 2007/08 saw them relegated from the Super League and in the following season another relegation took the West Fife club back to the Central Division.
Oakley United finished runners up to Thornton Hibs in the 2009/10 district league campaign but promotion to the Premier League was delayed for just twelve months and of course their successful run is now continuing in the second tier.

CANDID CAMERON - THE MANAGER'S VERDICT
At the end of the Glenrothes match Manager Kenny Cameron was quick to acknowledge the improvement in his team’s performance compared to the previous Saturday.
"Once again I could not fault my players for their effort or commitment. We got about the park and competed much better than we did in the Armadale game the previous week.
“I didn't think there was much in it over the ninety minutes but, credit to Glens, they took the two chances which fell their way and that was the difference in the sides today"

MATCH REPORT - BROUGHTY ATHLETIC 0 GLENROTHES 2 - 21 JANUARY 2012
Broughty Athletic entertained Glenrothes in a Premier League fixture at a windy Whitton Park yesterday.
The home team started the game brightly, forcing several corners although no-one was on hand to convert the dangerous deliveries.
The Glens had a chance in the fifteenth minute when neat build up play involving Martin and Shaw resulted in a shot from edge of the box which was off target.
It was the visitors who opened the scoring in the twentieth minute when they raced clear through Shaw. He eventually played the ball across goal for MARTIN to shoot home from eight yards.
In a relatively even contest Broughty were by no means out of it and in the thirtieth minute a long ball from Garrick found Dailly, who controlled the ball well before shooting just wide of the target.
Half Time: Broughty Athletic 0 Glenrothes 1
In a decent contest both sides were seeing plenty of the ball but neither side really threatened the opposition's goal.
A good break on the right from Dailly resulted in a cross into the box which was gathered by visiting keeper Roberts at the second attempt.
Broughty had an excellent opportunity to even the score when Lunan was fed in by Brash but the striker rushed his shot and it went wide of the target.
The Glens were good on the break and Simpson was unlucky not to control the ball in a good position and the Fifers’ chance was lost.
The Fed were having a good spell of pressure although the ball would just not fall for them in the box and they were denied any shooting opportunities.
With Broughty pushing for the equaliser they were caught on the break with five minutes left and Glens scored the killer second goal of the game. Martin did well to make space on the right and fed in SIMPSON who took a touch before curling the ball into the corner of the net from just inside the box.
Broughty never gave up and kept going until the end but as with much which had gone on before they just could not quite finish off some good build up play.
Broughty travel to West Fife next Saturday to face unbeaten league leaders Oakley United.
Four other Premier League matches are also scheduled to be played on 28 January: Ballingry Rovers v Newtongrange Star Broxburn Athletic v Downfield Penicuik Athletic v Armadale Thistle Tayport v Sauchie
Broughty Athletic lost 2-0 at home today to Glenrothes. In the only other Premier League match Downfield were beaten 7-1 by visitors Newtongrange Star.
The Ballingry Rovers v Tayport match was called off due to burst pipes.
