TIE SHOULD BE OAKLEY FOR LIE

ARTHURLIE boss Sandy MacLean has admitted his side face a difficult tie in their third round clash against Oakley United this weekend.

After Saturday's win away to Kirkintilloch Rob Roy, the Lie travel to Blairwood Park to face the East of Scotland Premier League side as they bid to get back to winning ways.

However, despite their opponents extending their unbeaten run this weekend, MacLean, pictured, is confident his side can make it into the hat for the next round of the cup.

He told Barrhead Sport: "We have got a very tough tie this Saturday against a very good side and I know it will be a hard fought game.

"However, I know when we play like we can, we are capable of blowing teams away and I am hoping we can do the same this weekend. They are on a winning run, at home and are going to be set for the arrival of a club they see as a major scalp.

"They will be up for it, but we just need to play our game and we will be able to get a result, but it will be tough.

"There will be no change in our approach, we go out to win games in the right

manner no matter who we play and this Saturday will be no different."

The Dunterlie Park side's clash is set for a 1.45pm kick-off this Saturday at Blairwood Park, Fife.
