The Wee Rovers are gearing up for the new season
Albion Rovers boss Sandy Clark is talking to “around” 14 players for next season’s Lowland League challenge, but says there is a lot of work still to be done as they prepare to announce their first new signings in the coming days.
Clark says he and supporters will need to be patient, and those he has agreed deals with won’t be identified until their contracts are up at previous clubs at the end of this month. “I’m happy enough where we are. There are a couple of positions, one in defence and one in attack, where I want to sign a couple of strong players, and there’s nothing close with that, at the moment.
“It will probably be into July before things will fall into place properly, when people who have been unsuccessful in getting contracts in the leagues will look more towards this league. Two of Rovers’ players from last season have secured new clubs for the forthcoming season. Defenders Devan McColl and Conor Duffy, who made 17 appearances in the Lowland League for Rovers last season, have both made the switch to a league rival. The pair have joined Broomhill and will face their former side later this year.
