RORY’S REACTION
Rory McAllister is hoping to keep up his good form when we round off our involvement in the Betfred League Cup against Forfar Athletic at Balmoral Stadium today at 3pm.
Neither of us can qualify for the next stage, but striker Rory says that won’t lessen his desire to be involved.

“There is no such thing as a meaningless game to me,” said Rory, who has netted in last week’s 3-0 League 1 win over the Loons and also had a hand in the other two goals, which were claimed by skipper Mitch Megginson.
“We will be doing our best to win to put ourselves in the best possible frame of mind for next week’s league visit to Falkirk.”
“There will also be lads out there getting more minutes desperate to impress the manager in the hope that they can stay in the side. I’m certainly hoping I get to feature. “
“I really enjoyed the chance to start against Forfar last time and I want to play more football to get my match fitness back up to where I would like it to be. It would also be great if I got another chance to play alongside Mitch.”
“We work well together because we have contrasting styles and I’m confident we would be able to pose a goal threat again. The midweek 3-0 defeat by Dundee at Dens Park officially killed off any hope of us finishing in the top two in Group B to qualify for the next stage.
Having Blair Yule and Jamie Masson harshly sent-off in that game didn’t help, but Rory insists the loss to the Dark Blues hasn’t dented confidence at Balmoral.”
Rory said: “The two red cards made it a bit of a false result in the end. Both of them were extremely harsh but we can take a lot out of the fact we were still able to make it tough for Dundee, despite being down to nine men.
It’s past now though, these League Cup games were always seen as a bit of bonus and an opportunity to test ourselves against full-time sides. Like I said, we will be doing all that we can to at least finish with a win ahead of getting back to league action, which has always been more important to us.”
Today’s match will be screened live on Cove Rangers TV, with our coverage kicking off from 2.30pm.
