Meanwhile, Mark Stowe says he owes it to his Linlithgow Rose team-mates for his blistering start to the season. Stowe was the standout performer in the EOS last season, bagging 43 goals in his first season with the Prestonfield club. He’s carried his form into the new campaign with 15 goals already from their first eight games.
He said: “I really enjoy it at Linlithgow, I have loved every minute. The group of boys, it’s probably the best changing room I have ever been in.”
