Annan Athletic gear up for televised Scottish Cup clash with Pollok

Annan are gearing up for one of the biggest games of their season when they collide with Pollok Juniors in a live televised clash in the Scottish Cup.

The Galabankies are away to the Glasgow club on Monday night with the second round tie screened live on BBC Scotland.

And manager Peter Murphy is expecting another tough encounter similar to their memorable cup tie at Clydebank last season which lurched into extra time before Galabankies emerged 4-3 winners and landed Rangers at home in the next round.

He said: “We know it will be a tough game on a tight pitch, a bit like Clydebank last season, and where the fans are right on top of you.

“It makes for a decent atmosphere and obviously we are hoping for the same result as last year.”

The Galabankies have struggled with injuries and mixed form this season and last weekend they slugged out a 1-1 draw with Stranraer in League Two.

Skipper Steven Swinglehurst is a doubt with a reoccurrence of a hamstring injury.
