Pollok 6 – 1 Livingston | 22nd August 2026

The midweek rain had been replaced by sunshine as the home side looked to attack from the off. A long ball from O’Neill turned the Livingston defence and McCann’s lob went wide with the keeper stranded. McCracken then had a shot from a tight angle well saved.

The first goal arrived in the eighth minute and was simplicity itself. McCann had won a corner which McCracken curled to the back post where Henry rose highest to power a header into the net.

The lead could have been doubled a minute later when Fowler made a mistake which McGonigle latched on to but Baxter did well to save. O’Neill was forced into a comfortable save from a long-range curler but it was mostly the Southsiders doing the attacking.

McGonigle had another chance in the sixteenth minute after a brilliant flick by McCann but his shot went narrowly wide of the far post. A minute later – after more good work by McCann – McHugh hit the post with an angled drive. The attacks kept on coming and good play down the left saw Boyle curl in a deep cross where McGonigle’s header was deflected up into the air. McCann connected beautifully with an overhead kick but it was blocked on the line.

Pollok doubled their lead in the twenty-second minute with a goal of stunning quality. McLaughlin strode out of defence before a slide-rule pass inside the full back for McCracken to take a touch before a square pass to McHugh who side-footed it into the corner of the net from twenty-two yards out.

The third arrived on the half hour mark. Bain picked out his full back partner Brown with a lovely cross-field pass and he headed across goal where McGonigle had time to take a touch before firing into the roof of the net. McHugh then set up a great chance for McCann with a near post cross but his effort was well saved by Baxter at point blank range.

With the tie all but won Pollok allowed a bit of slackness into their play and gifted Livingston a goal in the thirty-sixth minute. A pass across the back line by Stirling was a bit short and Henry was caught waiting for the ball allowing McIver to nip in and apply a cool finish past a stranded O’Neill. Before the half was out Livingston got in behind forcing O’Neill to tip a low shot out for a corner.

HALF-TIME: POLLOK 3 – 1 LIVINGSTON UNITED

 

The home side started the second half with their focus restored and McCracken flashed a volley across goal after being picked out by a superb long free-kick from Henry.

Just before the hour mark – after some concerted pressure where Livingston were pushed back – an ill-advised back pass was pounced on by McCann who unselfishly squared it to McHugh to slot home Pollok’s fourth.

Minutes later the home side put together a series of crisp passes which led to a McHugh shot from the edge of the box which Baxter parried and then reacted brilliantly to touch away McGonigle’s effort on the rebound. McHugh passed up another chance at the hat-trick when he glanced a McGonigle cross just wide.

The hat-trick duly arrived in the sixty-eighth minute. McHugh touched a long throw into the path of McCann and his cross picked out his strike partner to apply the finish from inside the six-yard box and earn himself the match ball.

With the substitutions coming thick and fast the flow of the game continued in the home side’s favour. Dachnowicz got in behind and saw his shot well saved again by Baxter who was bravely playing on despite an injury.

Pollok’s sixth goal arrived with eight minutes to go. A McCracken corner from the right was headed on by Bain and touched home by Dachnowicz for his first goal for the club.

The Southsiders did not let up in their attempts to find a seventh with McHugh hitting the bar with a clever chip, Doran and Cameron both bringing out saves from Baxter with long range efforts and McCracken firing narrowly over but they had to settle for six in the end.

Millerick & Doran go out on loan

Pollok FC can confirm that midfielder Jon Millerick and defender Luke Doran have completed loan moves to Cumbernauld United and Kirkintilloch Rob Roy respectively.

Jon signed in the summer of 2025, and he has made 24 appearances in both midfield and at right back, where he deputised several times last year in the absence of captain Jamie Bain.

Luke signed this summer from Easterhouse, and has made three appearances this season.

Pollok FC have a recall option on both loans, and we would like to wish both players well on their moves.

Pollok 3 – 1 Johnstone Burgh | 19th August 2026

After lengthy trips to Dalbeattie, Newton Stewart and Brechin in recent weeks Pollok returned to Newlandsfield for the first time since the opening game of the season for a Lowland League West match with Johnstone Burgh, and their unbeaten run continued as goals from Olly Cameron, Jamie Bain and Lee Gallacher sealed their third consecutive victory over Burgh.

Perhaps unsurprisingly Maxi said same again for the starting line-up after the impressive cup win the previous weekend. The changing of the guard at Johnstone Burgh was shown in their line-up – only one former Pollok player making the team.

The game was played in the pouring rain and it was the away side who threatened first. A ball through the inside right channel was beautifully weighted by McDonald and Kerr was able to run on to it but struck his shot over the bar.

Pollok took the lead in the ninth minute with a cleverly worked free-kick. As the big men were making their way into the box Gallacher took the option of playing a pass down the line to McHugh. He fired it across goal allowing Cameron to slide in at the near post to apply an expert finish. An excellent goal.

This away side took this setback in their stride and won a couple of corners as they looked for a quick reply. They thought they had it when Forrester rose highest and headed goalward but Walsh was there to make a magnificent clearance off the line despite Johnstone protests the ball was over the line.

The equaliser arrived in the fifteenth minute and it was a disaster for the Pollok defence. A couple of chances to clear their lines were eschewed and when the ball was passed back to McAllister, he completely fluffed his attempted clearance and McShane was on hand to fire it into the empty net.

After Pollok gave the ball away from the restart McAllister was forced into a save down to his right and then a couple of minutes later a sweeping move from Burgh ended with a clever dummy to allow McShane a shooting opportunity but his curling effort went narrowly wide.

The home side retook the lead in the twenty-first minute. McHugh did brilliantly in his hold-up play and slipped the ball thru to Cameron. His shot was deflected out for a corner. From the left Gallacher swung it in, McLaughlin headed it down and Bain swept it home. His second goal for the club coming hot on the heels of his long-awaited first.

McCracken had a chance to double the lead when a mistake in the heart of the Burgh defence in dealing with a Walsh cross presented him with a chance from a narrow angle but Long got back to save on the line. The teams then exchanged shooting opportunities with McShane seeing his pushed out for a corner whilst Watt fired over at the other end.

HALF-TIME: POLLOK 2 – 1 JOHNSTONE BURGH

 

With 54 minutes on the clock Cameron played a thirty-yard pass into the corner and went and retrieved it himself. Having beaten one defender he drove into the box and tried to find the far corner but his curling effort went just over.

Burgh were the dominant side in terms of possession and territory at this stage but apart from a short back pass from Bain which McAllister did superbly to rush from his line and block the danger they weren’t getting many looks at goal whilst the Southsiders looked threatening on the break. And that is how they scored their third. Gallacher pinched the ball near the halfway line as Johnstone Burgh looked to once again recycle it back into the box from where it had just been cleared. The ball broke to Cameron who strode forward before passing to Gallacher. He had McCracken up in support but didn’t need him as he curled a shot into the corner from the edge of the box. With 25 minutes to go the lead was doubled.

In the 74th minute, Burgh were guilty of making a mistake of their own at the back. Gallacher was on to in a flash and cut it back for McCann whose shot was well saved by Long. A Gallacher cross was then half cleared to the edge of the box where McGonigle then played a clever pass back to Gallacher whose shot was well struck but Long was right behind it.

The home defence remained compact and vigilant as they saw out the remaining minutes with few scares for a thoroughly merited three points.

FULL-TIME: POLLOK 3 – 1 JOHNSTONE BURGH

Attendance: 475

Man of the Match: Olly Cameron

The start performer for the fourth time in the opening six games of the season. The midfielder again covered every blade of grass, with so much of Pollok’s best passages of play going through him. Also opened the scoring with his third goal of the season.

Franco Stewart moves to St Cadoc’s

Pollok FC can confirm that winger Franco Stewart has completed a transfer to West of Scotland Premier Division side St Cadoc’s.

The eighteen-year-old joined Pollok in October last year, and made seven league appearances, the bulk of which were during the mid-season winning run last year which turned our season around, before spending the second half of the season on loan at Easterhouse, who he helped to a promotion to the Second Division.

All at the club would like to thank Franco for his efforts over the last year, and wish him all the best for his future career.

Newlandsfield to host Pollok United Girls

We are delighted to confirm that Newlandsfield will welcome a Pollok United match for the first time since 2019, as their U14s girls team take on Houston United in the SWF Jen Beattie League.

In 2017, the Pollok United 2006s played Renfrew in a friendly at Newlandsfield, and they took to the field again in 2019 for their Scottish Youth FA Cup tie against Dyce of Abderdeen. That 2006s team formed the core of last season’s Pollok U20 side, formed from the academy, and that relationship has continued with this year’s development side.

The match will take place on Sunday 30th August with a 13:45 kick-off. Gates open at 13:00 and admission is free.
