McGonigal back to help Bo'ness

In the Super League, champions Bo'ness have the services of manager Alan McGonigal again as they forage into the Senior Scottish Cup for the first time and look to retain the title.

McGonigal has stepped up to Hamilton Accies as full time coach to the under 19s but will still manage the Newtown Park outfit on Saturdays.

He has signed David Love from Hibernian who was their under 19s top scorer last season. Love has been signed with a view to replacing striker Darren Gribben should Gribben step up after a pre season training spell with Berwick Rangers.

Andy Shirra is another doing a pre season with Alloa and he too could step up before the season starts. Bo'ness kick off their round of friendlies with a challenge game next Saturday 17th July against Beith

Linlithgow, the Scottish Junior cup winners, haven't been busy in the transfer market. They have only two new faces in their squad. Colin Strickland has been signed from Whitburn and Adam Nelson signed from Musselburgh.
