Last season, Bo’ness United took maximum points off Gretna 2008 – thanks to 4-1 and 3-0 wins.

Both clubs will be looking to secure the three points, for very different reasons.

So far, United are the only team to have won all of their games – an opening day 3-0 win over Gala Fairydean Rovers, a 2-1 win away to Berwick Rangers, and a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Tranent.

Five players have contributed to the B. U.s seven goals – with Ryan Porteous and Scott Dalziel scoring two apiece, with Finn Malcolm, Shaun Rutherford, and Tom Grant also getting their name on the score sheet.

Gretna 2008 have leaked 23 goals in their opening three fixtures – being on the wrong end of two 7-0’s at the hands of Hearts B and East Kilbride, as well as a 9-2 defeat to Linlithgow Rose.

The Anvils will be hoping for a moment of magic to break the hoodoo – having seen Robbie Ivison score a stunning solo goal against Linlithgow Rose, last weekend.

Bo’ness United finished the Lowland League campaign sitting ninth with 54 points. But, the agony of losing the Lowland League Cup Final for the second consecutive year, on penalties to East Kilbride will be something that will spur club legend, and now manager, Stuart Hunter to aim for bigger and better things.

Former manager, Max Christie made a return to Tranent, taking key-player Alassan Jones and young Lennon Walker with him. Central Defender, Shaun Rutherford had made the move in the opposite direction – setting up for the season at Newtown Park.

Gala Fairydean Rovers finished five points behind Bo’ness United, ending the campaign in twelfth position. But, Martin Scott’s men can look back on the season fondly, finishing with their first-ever silverware in their current incarnation – lifting the East of Scotland Cup, with the 10-men GFR beating Linlithgow Rose on penalties.

The 22/23 campaign also saw GFR involved in some very entertaining and high-scoring games, including a 4-1 win over Open Goal Broomhill, a 3-3 draw with Hearts B, as well as 5-4 and 4-3 defeats to East Kilbride and Celtic B. Having lost their high-profile striker, Zander Murray to Bonnyrigg Rose – they’ve turned to Tranent’s top-goalscorer, Nicky Reid to find the back of the net.
