Cumbernauld Colts kid Callum Stackpool hopes to make his mark on the Lowland League first team.
The 19-year-old is looking to challenge for a first team spot during the remainder of the campaign after making his breakthrough into the under-20 side this term.
Speaking at the launch of Lanarkshire Live last week, he said: “It feels like a step up this season.
“I’ve played with the Colts since I was five through all the age groups.
It all kicks off for us tomorrow! Here's a look behind the scenes from our launch shoot with the senior teams across the region. Thanks to @acciesfc @AirdrieoniansFC @albionrovers @ClydeFC @officialEKFC @OfficialCColts& @CaleyBraves for their support! #MoreSportMoreOften pic.twitter.com/Ft3CI21jha

"Taking the step up into the under-20’s has been a lot different. We are going into in-depth tactics and how to properly win games and put teams away.
“There is a family feel around the club which has made it a whole lot easier for me in my development.
“I’ve been able to watch them go from a wee PE hall in a high school to getting their own bus, to challenging up in the Lowland League.
“Doing well in the Scottish Cup, and getting that exposure against the pro-teams is good for the club.
“The aim now for me is to make my breakthrough into the team.”
Colts are currently eighth in the Lowland League and yesterday enjoyed a 2-0 win over Stirling University, thanks to a debut goal from new signing Billy Mortimer and a strike from Michael Cunningham.
