Perthshire Rugby head coach Alan Clark will bid an emotional farewell to the club this weekend.
The final game of the National League 3 season also represents Clark’s last match in charge.
A popular figure, he and his players will head for Whitecraigs determined to finish on a high and return home with a well-earned victory.
“I had made the decision before Christmas,” Clark told the Perthshire Advertiser of his decision to step down.
“It is one of those where you are kind of looking forward to it, kind of not.
“I think it is time to move on but, on Saturday, I’m not sure if I will want to move on.
“So if I’m being honest I don’t know how I feel about it. I’m sure I’ll find out at the weekend.
“It’s our final game of the season and one against a team from around about us.
“We would expect to do pretty well on Saturday. It is a dead rubber but of course we want to finish the season on a high. I certainly want to finish on a high and I’m sure the boys do too.”
Shire were well-beaten in their last outing against Howe of Fife two weeks ago - not helped by player unavailability - but Clark is hopeful a strong squad will be free for the curtain-closer.
He said: “The Howe match was tough recently with it being on Easter weekend. There wasn’t supposed to be a game and we were struggling.
“But we’re looking at being reasonably strong this weekend.
“It is not only my last game, it is the last game of the season away from home and the boys want to get together for that.”
