Ross is a true club legend and very much deserves his nomination here. He has given so much to this team and above all is a genuinely nice guy as anyone who has met him will attest to - and he is always looking out for his players off the park too. Thanks gaffer!

Brilliant to get back on the park and with a tough win in a very competitive game with
@NewlandsAFC
who played well. A few sore legs tomorrow I think...
Unfortunately, a few players have had to retire due to ongoing injury issues. We are therefore very much on the lookout for players in all positions, but especially left back, centre half and wingers. Please DM if interested, see details below (ignore the bit about pre season)!
@ParkSportsAms
3-4 Lokos, a simply sensational performance and result. Leading 3-1, PSP inevitably came back strongly but a
@shodgex
‘hatty’ secured a fantastic three points. All the best to PSP for the run-in.
@GlasCollegesFA
Down to the bare bones today, but a very strong performance in a 6-1 win over
@GlasgowMedics
, and we would have scored several more were it not for some questionable finishing and superb goalkeeping. On to the cups for the next couple of weeks.
@scottish_aff
@GlasCollegesFA
With 15 players out, being able to field a team was achievement enough, but to nearly win against a strong team like
@PollokUtdAFC
who scored a late equaliser was a brilliant effort. Finished 3-3, our scorers were
@fyferr_
,
@giff07
and Marc Price.
Role reversal from last week's 2-1 defeat to the same opponents, with a battling 1-0 win over
@SUAFC
in the league, and this time their keeper making numerous saves to keep them in it. Former Southside player Alan Smith with the winner.
@GlasCollegesFA
@ScotAmFA
@scottish_aff
After several twists and turns, it is GAME ON for the Southside Cup against old rivals
@SUAFC
. Will be the last game for a while so hopefully we can win enjoy it and more importantly win the trophy back after last year’s 2-1 defeat!
Looking for a new club? We are looking to build on our last couple of seasons in the
@GlasCollegesFA
Premier Division and are recruiting for all positions.

FINAL STANDINGS: Season 18/19 has ended and we're delighted with our somewhat unexpected 6th place finish in
@GlasCollegesFA
Premier Division, our first since promotion. This is the highest placing in club history and one we hope to build on next season.
@ScotAmFA
@Scottish_AFF
Swings and roundabouts with a late equaliser going our way last week, but against us this week. Gutted but still a good point vs
@StDavidsAFC
at the Palace of Arts for a second consecutive 3-3 draw. All the best to them for the season.

Great to take something from a very tough fixture against last season’s title winners

in a 2-2 draw in Cumbernauld, in the last of the midweek fixtures for now.
Goals from Chris Watson and, I’m reliably informed, an unstoppable thunderbolt free kick by

RESULT: Loko's 3-1

Fantastic start to our first season in the
@GlasCollegesFA
Premier Division. Hard fought win this morning, wasn't pretty at times but a great 3 points! Joint top... can the season end now?! 🙈
@Scottish_AFF
@ScotAmFA
Not sure where to start with this one - tremendous second half comeback and an injury time winner, and four headed goals for a great win against
@weirrecreation
, considering the number of absentees. All the best to Weir's for the season.

With a bit of turnover in the squad, we are recruiting for players in all positions ahead of the new season. We have a full friendly schedule already sorted, SFA qualified coaching, excellent facilities, and occasionally some alright chat. Please DM for details!

Well done Craig for nomination for
#GCFAteamOfTheWeek
👏👏👏👏
Great way to finish off a topsy-turvy league campaign, coming from behind to win 2-1 against
@GlasgowIsland
. Especially pleasing to win with a real lack of numbers again, and some lovely football played in the second half.
@UnofficialGCFA
@ScotAmFA
@scottish_aff
It definitely wasn't pretty, but an important 3 points this morning.
@KingsParkUnited
battled very hard and on another day could easily have taken something, all the best to them for their season.

Glasgow collegeS FA Premier League team of the week and thank you to clubs for supplying Man of the match and other good performances that make producing weekly team possible.
Good to recognise good performances across our 2 leagues
RESULT: Loko's 4-3
@StThomasAFC
Absolutely wild and fun match which could have gone either way, finished with 10 men but we've sneaked in to the next round. Best of luck to a good, young St Thomas team in their promotion push.

After a calamitous opening day 6-1 defeat to
@NewlandsAFC
, much better stuff yesterday against
@GMKFC1
. Great to see big Marc back with a hat trick in his first start in 18 months after knee surgery.
Now for a very tough game on Tuesday against
@GlasgowIsland
.
With pre-season now finally at a close, some facts and figures ahead of the first league game of the season. Well done
@MathersCalum
who played every minute of every game, and to Matt Friar for being top scorer. Now on to the real stuff!
@GlasCollegesFA
@ScotAmFA
@scottish_aff
RESULT: Lokos 5-2 FC
@FCInnter
A good performance by Innter could have seen them out of sight in the first half. We performed much better after the break and did enough to secure the slightly flattering scoreline and 3 points.

Tomorrow we take on
@CambuslangFAAma
for the first time in a
@GlasCollegesFA
Cup First Round match at Palace of Arts, 10am kick off. Very much looking forward to what is sure to be a tough game.
We are on the lookout for lots of different things at the moment - to add more quality to an established Premier Division squad, opponents to get us up to speed for the new season, and sponsors to help us along the way. Please message if interested!

Squad of year
Throughout year many players get so many mentions in our squad of week and here they are for both divisions
Well done to
6-2 win against Woodbank in our first pre-season friendly. As it’s pre-season, should probably also say something about “minutes in legs”, and how it was “good to get a run out and see some new boys make their debuts”…
@scottish_aff
Good performance for most of the game, other than the last 20 minutes or so, and a 5-2 win against Burnhill this morning. All the best to them for the rest of the season.

SUMMER SIGNINGS: There has been quite a few squad changes over the summer. Delighted with all of our new signings who are adding much needed competition and depth. Also great to have former double POTY Ryan Kerr back after a year in the Juniors!

Defended really well, always available for keeper. a threat getting forward also.

Great performance, strong in the challenge, providing some great passes to kick start attacks.
Ideal pre-season preparation today against a sharp
@GlennyAms
team in Beith. Lots of effort, and much to work on in a 4-1 defeat.
@pmccambridge95
with our goal, a header (!) from a
@DanielSpeirs1
cross. Thanks to Glennifer for the game and all the best.
@GlasCollegesFA
Somehow found ourselves 3 up despite a dodgy start, and weathered some pressure at the start of the second half to take the three points - should have been more by the end. All the best to Burnhill for the rest of the season.

RESULT: Lokos 6-4
@TheUCS
. Our usual wild match, 3-0 then 4-1 up, credit to UCS who brought it back to 4-4 before we finally sealed the win in the last 15 minutes. Never dull watching Lokos!

@lokosglasgow
The combative midfielder was such a key component to the Lokos midfield.
Hodge also has unbelievable quality from dead ball situations and is definitely a leader of his club.
@scottish_aff
In other great news, congratulations to silky centre half/midfielder Mark Shields and slide-tackling goalscorer extraordinaire Callum Vause on their recent new arrivals!
Hopefully they can soon link up for a last minute winner again like against
@TheUCS
a couple of years ago...
Can't wait to kick a ball around again? We are back to training from NEXT WEEK in small, socially distanced groups. DM for details if you're interested.
Sure to be plenty of expert coaching like the below!
