Interesting signing….considering Cowdenbeath put 7 goals in one game past him this season…

We can now confirm that goalkeeper Blair Gallagher will sign for the club following the expiry of his current contract.

Blair joins us from Blackburn United, where he helped The Burnie secure a fifth place finish and promotion from the East of Scotland First Division to the Premier Division.

The young stopper was previously on the books at Whitburn Juniors and also enjoyed a loan spell at Oakley United.

Welcome to Central Park, Blair.

Upon signing, Blair commented “I’m delighted to have signed for the club. After speaking with the gaffer and Colin, I knew it was the right move for me. I’m looking forward to the season ahead.”

Manager Paul McLean added: “We’re really pleased to be bringing Blair to the club. He’s a young goalkeeper with real quality and comes in off the back of a really good season with Blackburn. He will provide strong competition for Dion, and I’m really looking forward to working with him.”

Director of Football Operations Colin Nelson said: “We’re happy to confirm the signing of Blair, whom we have watched a few times. He showed a great desire to come here despite having a couple of other offers. He is taking a step up, but it’s one we’re confident he can make, and he again fits the criteria of giving talented players an opportunity at a higher level. I’m also delighted that we now have two permanent goalkeepers for the first time in a long time, which I believe is important.”

Interesting to see so far 3 players all signed from the same relegated club. Makes you wonder a few things….

Last but not least for today - The club are delighted to announce 📣 defender Cooper Thompson has signed a pre contract agreement to join the Bell 🔔 for the 2026-27 season

Cooper has vital experience of the premier league and will be a vital addition

Welcome to the 🔔 Cooper

Truthful words. No loyalty in football these days. Many players go where the money is, or think better than the level they are

Glenrothes FC boss Paul Beveridge not happy as eight players quit relegated club https://t.co/7dTzSExe42

@BlackburnUnited Hi guys. I wasn’t at game but looking across the social media posts, just to give some context. The player who scored Greig Paige, he has just returned from a triple leg break. Believe today was his first game back. Fairly right to celebrate as a team, showing lovely togetherness

@fife_football Heard Glenrothes vacancy has been filled. A team in 🟡⚫️ now has a vacancy

Fife Manager Merry-Go Round I hear tonight

[EoSHopper @EoS_Hopper27423]

Got my moneys worth for goals today as a neutral. Did not expect this scoreline though. Especially with the money on recruitment KDY have spent recently.

Could be an exciting end near the bottom

[Kirkcaldy & Dysart FC @kdydysartfc]

Crossgates 5 v Kirkcaldy & Dysart FC 2

[EoSHopper @EoS_Hopper27423]

Potentially take this game in tomorrow. A must win for both but especially KDY with the games in hand for Crossgates.

I fear a loss for KDY will enter panic mode.

Finally back in the house after attending. 2 games today. Takes it out off an old guy like myself.
Only downside today was the manner in the way some groundhoppers spoke to the referee pre game at Lochore. A small handful.

[EoSHopper @EoS_Hopper27423]

@scottm1901 A tough league the second Division. But good money spent on newbies

[EoSHopper @EoS_Hopper27423]

@BarryTillier Yes apologies. Lose track of start and end dates on the Swifts Manager Merry-Go-Round

[EoSHopper @EoS_Hopper27423]

@ScottishHop2026 Yes. Can’t make the 1:15pm game but all 3 others on the Saturday and Sunday’s game 👍

[EoSHopper @EoS_Hopper27423]

A reliable source has indicated that S**fts may be on the lookout for a new manager…again. Concerning if true #FifeFootball

[EoSHopper @EoS_Hopper27423]

Looking forward to this one. Missing the 1:15pm kickoff, but will get this one first before the 4:00pm game. Let’s hope the weather is kind

@PrestonAthletic You might not have anyone turn up on the 14th. I think Easthouses are travelling to Lochore for groundhoppers day

Struggle for goals without the powerhouse Shearer 💪 ⚽️ ⚽️

@fife_football I took the Lochore game in today so I could navigate the public transport for groundhopper day next weekend. Someone was saying Blackburn were 2nd at the start of the day? Wasn’t a pretty game, but I got 4 goals (1 tremendous goal) and a coffee in a mug 😂 for my money
