LUGAR Boswell Thistle boss George Wallace says his main target for this season remains survival.
That comes despite his side getting 2025 off to an impressive start on Saturday, January 18, with a 2-1 victory at home to Glasgow United.
Wallace insists he will continue to take the year "one game at a time" despite the win meaning his side are just seven points away from the promotion places - a gap which is identical to that between the Jaggy Bunnets and the relegation positions.
The Rosebank Park boss admits he was delighted to see his side start off the new year with a win after more than a month without a competitive fixture.
In fact, the WoSFL Third Division clash came over two months since Lugar last played in the competition.
Wallace commented: “That was a massive game for us, we kind of rode our luck a wee bit and Andy (McAllister) in goals was brilliant.
“The boys battled hard, the first half we were alright but they were getting chances.
“We came out second half and we lifted it, the tempo was much better and we had a bit of fight about us.
“A draw would have been fair so we rode our luck a little but that was a massive win.”
Lugar had trailed in Saturday's match, with former Rangers and Hearts attacker David Templeton putting Glasgow United ahead shortly after the half hour mark.
The score would remain 1-0 until the second half when Grant Wallace levelled and Ewan McIver struck the winner just minutes from time.
Wallace added: “I am just taking it one game at a time now, we have Ardeer on Saturday who are a big, strong, physical team.
“Down there we know what it’s like, they have a crowd of fans who make it loud.
“We are back to normal now so we can concentrate and get a wee push on to the end of the season.
“It’s all big games now, my priority is to stay in the league first of all then see how high we can finish – anything else is a bonus.”
Lugar will take on Ardeer in Stevenston on Saturday, January 25, with kick off at 1.30pm.
