It was a big day in Scotland with 3 league fixtures taking place, including a highly anticipated meeting between the top 2 teams in the Scottish League, both of whom went into the game unbeaten in the league. A victory for either side wouldn’t just end the unbeaten run of the opponent, but it would also give them an advantage at the top of the table as we head towards the end of the season. Despite a goal from Craig Newell of Livingston GS, it was Fir Park Corner (Motherwell Supporters) who emerged victorious, after goals from Craig Keatings, Craig Mitchell and Scott Lewis.
Elsewhere in Scotland, Queen’s Park travelled to Real Maroon (Hearts Supporters) and won 0-3 after a Dylan Roberts goal and a Kian Donaghy double.
