Brora Rangers set to take on East Kilbride in play-off semi final first leg - Winner will face Bonnyrigg Rose or Forfar Athletic for place in League Two next season
MANAGER Steven Mackay says Brora Rangers are good enough to see off East Kilbride in the League Two play-off semi final.
The Cattachs, who claimed a historic clean sweep of trophies this season, now head to the Lowland League champions for the first leg tomorrow afternoon.
Brora Rangers completed a treble winning season after claiming the Highland League title.
They won the North of Scotland Cup in October and last week won the Highland League Cup last week.
Brora Rangers now turn their attention to the League Two play-offs as they take on East Kilbride in the semi finals tomorrow. The second leg takes place at Dudgeon Park on Saturday, May 3.
The winner will face either Bonnyrigg Rose or Forfar Athletic in the two-legged final, with it still to be decided who will finish bottom of League Two.
Bonnyrigg Rose are bottom of the table on 30 points, but moved to within four points of Forfar Athletic after beating them 2-0 at Links Park on Saturday with two games remaining.
Mackay said it would be a proud moment for him to lead Brora Rangers into League Two, but they have to concentrate on getting past East Kilbride in the semi final first.
He said: “We have four more cup finals coming up hopefully, we have played in nine cup finals in the last few weeks.
“We will start to think about East Kilbride, if we can put on a similar performance like we did against Fraserburgh then we will give ourselves a good chance.
“They will be tough, it is hard to say if they will be the toughest team we have faced this season as we have already taken on hard teams.
“It will be difficult as they are an experienced and aggressive outfit. But if we can perform like we did against Fraserburgh, we will give ourselves every opportunity to progress.
“It would be unbelievable and it would be third time lucky for me.
“I played in the first play-off final against Montrose and got sent off.
“I was manager against Kelty Hearts and we were short against a very strong team.
“I would be proud to be the first manager to guide Brora into the Scottish leagues, but we will see.
“We have to get through two really hard games against East Kilbride and then we will see how we get on.”
