Gartcairn made Cambuslang Rangers wait a while longer for the West of Scotland League Conference B title with a victory over Kello Rovers.
Anything other than a victory for Cairn would have handed Camby the crown, but goals from Liam Craig and Barry Ellie gave the Airdrie side a 2-1 win at home to Kello on Saturday.
However, Rangers travel to Renfrew this weekend knowing that anything other than a defeat will clinch the title as Gartcairn have no official fixture.
They’re tackling Division Four champions Finnart in a friendly on Saturday to keep them ticking over, hoping their rivals slip up ahead of a head-on clash at Rangers’ Somervell Park on March 26.
And Cairn assistant boss Scott Mills says all they can do is see what happens.
He said: “There’s nothing we can do about what Cambuslang are doing, so we just focused on ourselves.
“We’ve had a hard game, in terms of putting away our chances. We let Kello back in the game, managed to get the winner in the second half, and then we’ve come off to find that Cambuslang have won.
“Fair play to them, they’ve done great, they’ll be looking to get the league title done and dusted this weekend, but we just aim for finishing as high up in the table as we can.
“If something crazy happens – and it’s Scottish football – then if you don’t win your games others will take advantage. But we’ve just got to keep winning and see where we finish.”
Mills added: "We have no fixture but we’re going to take a friendly on – I think we’re playing Finnart, who won their league, so they’ll be buzzing, and they’re free.
“We’re free, we’ve obviously got Cambuslang the following week, so we want to give a good account of ourselves in that match, no matter what the situation is.
“If it maybe comes down to a game against us for them to win the league we want to put ourselves in a position to go and beat them that day.
“We’re going to play a game this week to keep preparing properly.”
