Selection problems for Cove boss

COVE Rangers co-manager Kevin Tindal admits his selection crisis shows no signs of easing before tomorrow’s clash with Wick.

The defending Highland League champions will likely have the same squad that lost last Saturday to Buckie in the final of the Evening Express Aberdeenshire Cup.

That could mean places on the bench again for co-boss Jerry O’Driscoll, who had planned to retire at the end of last season, and the injured Eric Watson.

Dean Lawrie is still offshore, while Danny Milne is not yet back from a friend’s wedding in America.

To make matters worse, Martin Johnston and Neil Cruickshank are both sidelined through injury, while Roddy Black remains a major doubt.
