Kello Rovers boss: 'Forget quarter final loss - we've 10 cup finals left to dodge drop'

Kello Rovers may have exited Junior football's premier competition - but boss Scott Clelland reckons his side still have 10 cup finals left to play this season.

That's the number of League One games the Kirkconnel side have left to secure a place in the division for next season.

And Clelland reckons they must get the disappointment of today's Scottish Junior Cup quarter final defeat against Beith out their system pronto to concentrate on a massive run-in.

Rovers currently sit fourth from bottom - one above the relegation zone.

"We need to take it on a chin and move on, said Clelland.

"We've a lot of work to do to stay in this league. We've 10 cup finals left to play.

"I wouldn't say the cup run has been a distraction. We need to get consistency."

Kelllo were backed by an army of between 250 and 300 supporters at Bellsdale and Clelland is hoping similar numbers will continue to support his side for the rest of the season.

He added: "The cup run has been brilliant for the club and the community.

"We had a good crowd today, two buses, four minibuses. I'm hoping they are all going to be there next week. Its the same when it comes to sponsorship."
