Welcome to my FM26 save, where we will be following the journey of serial Scottish Non-Leaguer Donald Forrest in his first foray in to SPFL management.
Born in Ayr, he would join the Honest men as a young scholar hoping to forge a career in football playing for his beloved team. However this didn't quite come to fruition due to setback after setback on the injury front he would himself plying his trade in and around the Lowland League and below finishing his career up with junior side Auchinleck Talbot.
During his time at Auchinleck he would take up an interest in the coaching side of the game and eventually taking over as manager for a couple of seasons, from there he had stint with the border side Gretna 2008 before finally getting the call from the Blues
Stranraer FC the third oldest side in Scotland should hopefully provide Donald the chance to propel his career in to the SPFL with the very clear goal of taking them to the lofty heights of the Scottish Premiership, a place in which they have never seen and if they're lucky bringing some of Europes finest to the Southwest of Scotland to play under the lights of Stair Park.
Join me again soon after our pre-season friendlies and the group stage games of the Premier Sports Cup where we hope to find a settled side in a promising formation to push in the right direction
