Hampden Access Info
Rovers have issued the following information for travelling fans.
"With the continuing cold weather Queen's Park have advised that for this match only access to the ground for Saturday's match will be via Turnstiles 97 to 101. These are the glass fronted turnstiles located to the left of the main entrance. Once inside signage will guide supporters into the concourse and seating areas.
Please also note that access is available ONLY from Aikenhead Road as the streets and car parks at the Mount Florida end of the ground have not been gritted and are currently closed off. Travel safely.
The pitch itself is in excellent condition so hopefully we'll see some football to bring in the New Year."
For clarification the end of the ground to use is the traditional "Celtic" one, at the opposite end from New Lesser Hampden. The undersoil heating means that the pitch should not be a problem and Rovers will feature in one of only a handful of SFL match to go ahead.

Another Draw
Rovers drew yet again, and it was thanks
to Kyle MacAulay of Elgin City cancelling out his earlier goal for his own side.
(11/12/09)
Brrrrrrrrrr..........
Due to the adverse climactic conditions in
Scotland in general and Coatbridge in particular anyone travelling to the Rovers
v Elgin City match tomorrow would be well advised to check the match is on
before setting off.
Although I shall try to update the website as quickly as possible the best place to find out up to the minute information is on the messageboard.

Honours Even
An injury time equaliser by Pat Walker
gave Rovers a deserved draw at Station Park, Forfar this afternoon. Rovers
dominated the first half but went onto the dressing room level at one all after
a goal from on-loan Ian Harty cancelled out Ciaran Donnelly's opener. Former
Rover Harty put the Angus side ahead in the second half before the goal from
Walker who'd only been on for 10 minutes.
