 Three quickfire second half goals continue Celtic's B side impressive start to their league campaign in the Scottish Lowlands League.

The match was played in torrential showers, which seems to be a feature of matches in Airdrie.

• 9th time attending a Lowlands League match, including 3 featuring Celtic-B
• 10th match attended at the Excelsior Stadium
• 2nd time seeing Linlithgow Rose

SCOTTISH LOWLANDS LEAGUE

Venue: FALKIRK STADIUM 

EAST STIRLINGSHIRE  2  BERWICK RANGERS  1

Interesting match between two former Scottish League sides who are now in the 5th tier of Scottish football.  Berwick bring a noisy following not sure if it's because it's the last league of the season or the chance to get to a very decent ground.

Personal note:

7th Lowlands League fixture for me this season.

Overall 3rd visit to the Falkirk Stadium

4th time seeing East Stirlingshire & 2nd watching Berwick Rangers

Paul on the line.

CELTIC-B  4  BROOMHILL  2

My first time seeing the B team in action in the Lowlands League and although the match lacks quality there is plenty of goal action to keep my interest.

Paul is on the line again for what is my 8th match at the Excelsior Stadium.

Paul is on the line for another Scottish Lowlands League fixtures and it gives me the chance to visit a new ground - K Park on the outskirts of East Kilbride.

The ground is not easy to get to unless travelling by car.

Minor Match 59 - Saturday 31 July 2021

SEASON 2021/22

SCOTTISH LOWLANDS LEAGUE

Venue:  RECREATION PARK (2)

    

BROOMHILL  1  CALEDONIAN BRAVES  2

My first venture into Scottish non-league football in the Scottish Lowlands League as Paul makes his debut.  A decent game between Broomhill, a club from Glasgow who play their home games in Alloa and Caledonia Braves from the Bellshill area of North Lanarkshire.

A contrast of styles with Braves playing a good style of football while Broomhill are a little more direct in their play.

Second visit to Recreation Park, Alloa.
