Shire’s end-of-season has been dealt a blow after club captain Derek Ure was given a two game suspension following his red card in Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Dalbeattie Star.
It means the skipper will miss this weekend’s last Lowland League game of the season when Shire host champions-elect East Kilbride at Ochilview and he will also be out of the following week’s Lowland League Cup match at Selkirk.
Derek was sent-off quarter of an hour before the end of the game at Islecroft Stadium, his second dismissal this season.
“I’ve watched it again and I think the sending-off was soft,” was coach John Sludden’s response.
