Shotts boss says 'having a go' worked well as they avoided Premier League drop
John McKeown's side were on a good run of form at the end of the season Shotts boss John McKeown reckons having a go in games worked well for them, and hopes his side continue that form into next season's West of Scotland Premier League. The Hannah Park side ended with 11 points from a possible 18 in their last six games, as they comfortably evaded the bottom three – though Clydebank winning their Lowland League play-off saved four teams from going down. Now that the dust has settled on their first season in the top flight, McKeown reckons they could have done things differently. 'We know what to expect, but you have to find your feet,' said McKeown. 'As a coaching and management team, I think we were a wee bit negative in the first half of the season. 'In the second half, we had a wee bit more of a go, and ended up doing quite well. In our last six games we won three, drew two and lost one, and that's good going in this league. 'Fair play to the boys, they deserve all the credit they're going to get, and hopefully they continue that form into next season.' Shotts watched Clydebank's play-off in sponsor's pub The Two Chimneys in Uddingston, and the Bankies' promotion to the Lowland League means McKeown can plan ahead. He said: 'I had two lists, and now I can concentrate on the Premier League one, rather than the Championship. 'That gives us a better chance to plan, going forward. 'This is our second season in the Premier League and I think that's for the first time in 30 years, or something like that. 'By hook or by crook, we've stayed there, so fair play to the boys. 'We have a team spirit that I don't think many clubs have, and I think that's what has kept us up.' Having lost Airdrie neighbours Gartcairn to relegation last season, due to a 15-point deduction, one particular fixture stands out to McKeown, who said: 'Glencairn are my local team, I was born in Rutherglen, so that's another wee derby.' Last week the club announced that a number of players have signed up again for the new season Taylor Evans, Josh Gracie and Paul Byrne have joined Ally Small, Rico De Marco and Jack Gordon in committing to the 2025/26 campaign. A number of players have also departed. Leaving the club are Andrew Duffy, Chris Meikle, Danny Burns and goalkeeper Sandy Thomson. Meanwhile, after getting a bye in the first round, Shotts were drawn against Irvine Victoria in round two of the WoSFL Cup. The date is to be arranged.

The nine Asda stores in Scotland set to sell the Nintendo Switch 2 tomorrow
Nintendo's latest edition of the flagship console will be hitting the shelves tomorrow, much to the delight of those who failed to secure a pre-order. While it is coming from an unexpected source - Asda - this is another opportunity for shoppers and gamers to snap up this highly-anticipated device. However, with over a thousand stores across the UK, only 80 will be stocking the new Nintendo Switch 2 on its release day - nine of which are in Scotland. So for those who do not live near one of the stores, it may be easier to wait for online retailers to restock the device. The original Nintendo Switch was released in 2017 in order to replace the Wii U system, reports the Mirror. Eight years later and the highly-anticipated update is now being released, with a bigger screen, new games and more built-in features. Many fans of the handheld device have struggled to snatch up a pre-order online, so quite a few may take their chances and head to stores across the country. Asda announced it would be offering the Mario Kart World Bundle for £429.98 on launch day - June 5. The new Mario Kart World game is exclusive to the new device and is said to include all the fun-filled racing chaos that fans love. The Nintendo Switch 2 will be available online at once the stock arrives into stores. However, shoppers can take their chance and try to buy the bundle deal in the selected Asda stores. It should be noted that this is a popular gaming console, so would be expected to sell out quickly. In Scotland, the Asda stores selling the device are Asda Living Glasgow Fort, Bridge of Dee, Clydebank, Edinburgh, Galashiels, Hamilton, Milton of Craigie, Motherwell and Toryglen.

UK retailer GAME also had to take to social media to acknowledge that it had to cancel several of their online pre-orders. They said: "We understand how disappointing this is, especially for those who have been eagerly awaiting their order." The Switch 2 is still available for pre-order on the Nintendo Website. Nintendo Switch Online members can get the normal device for £395.99, while the Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart World bundle cost a bit more at £429.99.
