Last year, The Rock won promotion from the Stagecoach Central District Division Two. This year we'll be playing in the Stagecoach Central District Division One, which is the 3rd tier of Scottish Amateur Junior Football.
The long term aims for the club are to go professional and move up as far and fast as possible, I'll be looking to make this a one club save, unless I get sacked in which case I might try and take on another junior team. I look forward to the journey and hope you enjoy the ride!
A look at the players, transfers & the results from our 4 preseason games will follow this update.
