Boghead was the scene of more drama a few years back, when it was the home ground of Kilknockie in the truly appaling football film " A Shot at Glory". I've watched it, and wish I hadn't, though Ian McCall getting punched by Ally McCoist almost made it wortwhile!
Fortunately for Saints, boghead is no more. Dumbarton have a new ground, called the Stratchlyde Homes Stadium (or something similar). They should be well received by the Saints fans, as on the last day of lastr season they sneaked into third place, sending Morton down to fourth and completeing their impressive collapse.
Dumbarton will have a few trialists on show tonight and, if he comes through injury, they'll also have former Saint Robert Dunn playing. No doubt he'll score to try and show us we shouldn't have released him.
Saints are in the middle of a three day trip to Seamill Hydro at the moment (lovely weather for it), and will be returning home tomorrow. There are a few injury worries, with guys like Hugh Murray, John Baird and Mark Reilly all likely to be rested so that they aren't out for weeks. Makes sense.
As I've said in the other previews, results don't mean a thing in friendlies, but it would be nice to banish some of those awful memories of Boghead with a win at Dumbarton's new ground.
