Shotts boss John McKeown admits it’s getting harder to compete financially in the West of Scotland League First Division, but has a ‘few irons in the fire’ for signing fresh faces for the new season.
The Hannah Park side ended their campaign 10th in the 16-team First Division last season, and have had to cope with the financial withdrawal of main sponsor Bell’s, though the local firm still provide food on matchdays.
McKeown reckons they’ve done well, against some pretty big odds, but knows his side face another tough year in the 2023/24 campaign.
