In Pictures: Highs and lows of Bo'ness United's 2019-20 Premier Division title win

Bo'ness United have been declared winners of the 2019-20 East of Scotland League Premier Division, which was uncompleted due to coronavirus.

Having been confirmed as champions after an overwhelming 37 out of 30 clubs voted to end the season and award placings on a points per game basis, Bo’ness have all but guaranteed promotion to the Lowland League for next season.

For this to be 100 per cent certain, the BUs need to have a licence to join this division granted at an SFA AGM in June.

This would put them in tier five of the Scottish football pyramid, just one level below Ladbrokes League Two.

Here, we pay tribute to the champions by profiling six matches which illustrated the highs and lows of their title win under manager Max Christie, which saw Bo'ness win 14, draw five and lose two of their 21 league fixtures.
