Kirkintilloch Rob Roy Stewart Maxwell wants more after nine-goal blast
Rabs demolished Irvine Victoria 9-1 on their own ground to move safely through to the third round of the Scottish Junior Cup.
But Maxwell admitted he had a bit of a go at his players, particularly over a first half display which saw them come in just 2-1 up against a Vics side reduced to 10 men early on.

“We were a wee bit slow to come out of the traps. In the first half we weren’t quite at it and I gave them a wee bit of the hairdryer treatment at half-time.
“But they understood what I was saying about being really ruthless and in the second half they were terrific. Overall I was pleased but I just set standards high and to be fair the boys appreciated that after the game.”

He said: “It’s the first time I’ve had a full bench all season. There’s now competition for places and that’s only going to enhance their performances and the team’s performances.
“It’s a great bunch of boys. They understand my demands are high and that I just want them to do well.”
