We are on the road again this Saturday as The Rose travel to the Caledonian Stadium to face Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the Group stage of the Premier Sports Cup

This is only the 2nd game in the tournament for a much-changed Inverness CT side, managed by Duncan Ferguson. In their first game they were beaten 1-0 by fellow League 1 side Annan Athletic last week.

The Rose, after a tough day against Dundee, bounced back against Annan on Tuesday night, winning 7-6 on penalties to gain the extra point after a very well deserved 2-2 draw after 90 minutes at Galabank.

On Tuesday night, Bonnyrigg took the lead in the 7th minute through a Bradley Barrett goal, with a shot from the edge of the box, though this lead was short lived when Annan equalised in the 14th minute and then took the lead on the half hour mark.

The Rose took control of the second half and got a well-earned equaliser with a well taken Brad Rodden goal with 3 minutes to go which then took the tie to penalty kicks.

After a nail biting 18 penalties The Rose came out on top 7-6 to gain the extra point that was available after a brilliant performance from our new, on loan, Goalkeeper Tom Ritchie on his debut.

The Rose travelled to Inverness in the same group stage of this competition last season going down 2-1 after losing two first half goals and despite a late strike from Kieran McGachie we left Inverness pointless.

After the thrilling match against Annan Athletic, The Rose are focused on a positive performance on Saturday.

C’Mon the Rose, Lets Go!
