The Galashiels team currently sit in fifth place in the league after five victories on the bounce, with 18 points after eight games.

That puts them level on points with fourth-placed BSC Glasgow and third-placed Bo’ness United, though the Glaswegians have played one extra game, and just a point behind second-placed East Stirlingshire and two behind league leaders East Kilbride.
