Largs Thistle need to bounce back on Saturday when Pollok come calling at Barrfields.

I didn't see the defeat at New Western Park coming but I knew it would be a tough encounter with Renfrew scrapping for points at the bottom end of the league.

Renfrew must have wanted it more, and Largs will be looking to make amends quickly.

The injury to Ben Black is a concern as he has been such an influential player this season on the wing.

There were some other surprising results in the McBookie.com Premier Division which goes to show what a tough league it is.

Champions Beith were turned over 2-1 at home to Cumnock.

Kilwinning also suffered a surprise 1-0 defeat at home to Kilbirnie which was a much needed victory for the Valefield Park side, specially with Renfrew winning.

It has been a dramatic weekend all around in football with a number of surprises.

Aberdeen and Rangers couldn't be separated in the Scottish Cup.

The replay should be another good game between them. I see Alfredo Morelos was booked again ... this time for diving.

That game was affected by the wind, but I see that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp also blamed his team's draw at Everton on the gust with Storm Freya hitting the UK.

I guess he won’t be bringing his team to Barrfields any time soon!

Manchester City have edged ahead once more in the English Premiership title race.

It is alsqo exciting times for Largs Thistle with the Macron Scottish Junior Cup draw coming on Thursday at 5pm on Rock Sport.

Lochee beat Troon 2-0 at Portland Park in the quarter finals and would be tricky opposition.

Talbot beat the Taysiders last year in the semi finals 2-1 on aggregate.

I don't think teams will particularly look forward to playing on the Barrfields Park 3G.

Hurlford had an impressive 3-1 win at Clydebank in the quarter final replay, and of course Auchinleck went on that amazing run in the senior Scottish Cup, knocking out Ayr United, before losing out at Hearts.

I see that Largs have been given Auchinleck away in their final league game - could that be a dress rehearsal for the final? Largs have played well against Hurlford this season on both occasions in the league without recording a victory, and they will hope to make amends for that should they meet in the semis.

This Saturday, Pollok will be a difficult game - they got a 3-0 defeat from Auchinleck in the Scottish Cup, but as we know, there are no easy games in the Premiership.

With the big Scottish Cup semi final coming up, the players should be fighting for their place in the team in the semi final.

Largs are in a good position with five of their next six games at home, and it is an opportunity to build up some momentum for the semi-final.
