Well that’s us up and running for season 2025-26 with a good workout away to Blantyre Vics.

A game of 2 halves as they say with Blantyre edging it in the first half and taking a one goal lead into the interval.

With a large number of changes at half time by both sides as they juggle to find their starting 11s for the  league season it was Carluke who then came out on top.

A goal from Olly Grenfell seen the Rovers draw level and a fine finish from Ben Rennie gave Carluke the victory.

Best of luck to Blantyre for the new season and thanks for the game.
