Irvine Meadow boss focused on building towards next season

Kevin Deeney admits he’s already focused on building for next season.

The Irvine Meadow boss landed his first permanent management gig and he’s keen to make it a roaring success.

He’s already eyeing up who he wants to bring to Meadow Park to strengthen for next season – and he’s aiming to “get his ducks in a row early”.

Deeney told the Irvine Herald: “We are planning for next season already. It’s a case of seeing who’s moving on and who we can bring in.

“That’s all we can really do, I’m not thinking too far ahead, I just want to get my signings in place.

“A lot of guys are waiting until the summer to assess their options. I want to try and get my ducks in a row and get business done as quickly as possible.

“That’s easier said than done, though, but now I’ve got the job permanently I can get down to business.

“I want to get my own guys in. It’s down to me now and I need to make it work.”

Meanwhile, Medda are getting set for a tricky clash away to Junior Cup finalists Cumnock this Saturday.

Deeney said: “It’s going to be interesting. I don’t know how they’ll react after the Auchinleck Talbot game.

“They’ll be on a high after getting to the cup final, though. I don’t think it’s a great time to meet them but it is what it is. We just need to take it as it comes.”
