Cumbernauld Colts striker Sean Winter has warned that Rangers 'B' will be gunning for revenge when they visit Broadwood tonight and might want to make his side look "stupid".
Having lost 4-1 to Caledonian Braves on Saturday - in which Winter scored his 100th Lowland League goal - the striker says it's both a good game to bounce back in, and a terrible fixture to be anticipating.
He said: "We beat them 4-1 when they were flying and they still are – nobody has really turned them over like that.
"I think they’re going to come out, and their team-talk is done for them – they want a bit of revenge and they want to come at us, so that’s probably not a good thing for any team in this league – when Rangers or Celtic are looking for a bit of revenge.
“They’re going to come out and they’re going to be desperate for the win, and probably to make us look a bit stupid, so it’s going to be tough.
"We’ve probably got a wee bit lucky again with the fact it’s international week and they’re going to have a few boys away, like they did in the last game - we've caught them at a couple of good times.
"It's a big, big game, they've got a point to prove against us, and we just need to try and replicate the form of the first game.
"We know when we play the way we can that we will take points off teams, and we've proved it - we have nothing to fear against anybody.
"If we can get a good result in this one we can definitely start to think that we're well better than what we're showing in the league."
Winter says the 4-1 defeat to Braves is the story of their season, where they do well against bigger teams, but then lose to those around them in the table.
"We've played against Braves twice and got beat 3-0 away from home," said Winter. "It was 0-0 with maybe 30 minutes to go, but we had the better chances.
"On Saturday we came out in the second half absolutely firing, it was 1-1 and we had a couple of half-chances. If anybody was going to score it was going to be us, but then we got a man sent off [Dominic Slattery] and it changed the whole complexion of the game.
"They went up, scored from a corner, and the way things are with us, when we go behind we find it really hard to get ourselves back in the game.
"When you're down there fighting for points and you go behind, you think 'here we go again', and we really need to get that out of our game."
Winter added: "When you look at the games against Celtic, Rangers, Bonnyrigg, East Kilbride and Bo'ness, we've more than held our own.
"The teams we've taken points from we probably should have no right doing that.
"We beat Rangers 4-1 away from home and we were about 20-1 to beat them, that's how big underdogs we were, but ran out very comfortably.
"I honestly do think, with the squad we've got, when everybody's fit and we're on our game, we're top-five or six in this league.
"We just cannot pick up results, and it's so frustrating.
"Hopefully over the next five or six weeks we can start to put a wee run together and climb up the table a wee bit."
