| Last night saw the Dark Blues idle again after the already once postponed trip to Livingston fell foul of freezing temperatures and, even at this early stage, there has to be a doubt about this weekend’s visit to Clyde.
Their Broadwood home, one of the most exposed grounds in the country, was unplayable last Saturday and, with no sign of an improvement in the weather, the chances of action there in less than 48 hours look slim.
“I’m going to phone (Clyde boss) John Brown later and see what the story is, but I’d say already there has to be a doubt about Saturday,” said Jocky.
“If it does go off, that will mean we’ll only have had one game, against St Johnstone, in a month and that’s a nightmare.
“We’ve been going along well and getting results, and the last thing we wanted was games going off.”
The low temperatures have also made it impossible to arrange close-door games for the players who are returning from injury and that has not improved Jocky’s mood any.
“These boys are being held up by the lack of games and this isn’t doing the squad as a whole any good.
“If Saturday’s off, I’ll have gone from having a few who needed a game to a whole squad needing one — the boys are desperate to play.”
So far, no new date for the Livingston game has been forthcoming from the Scottish League, though next midweek looks a strong possibility. |
