Cove Rangers started this year with two really bad performances where they conceded twelve goals and scored only once, against Inverness 1:6 on away and Queen’s Park 0:6 at home. After that they improved a bit with a home draw against Raith 2:2. That single point from three games brought them only four points advantage in front of relegation candidate Arbroath.
Ayr had one game less at the beginning of this year, still they managed to collect four points from those two games. They beat Hamilton 1:0 at home but were surprised by the relegation threatened Arbroath with draw 2:2 at home. They are still second and only four points behind current league leader Queen’s Park.
Cove Rangers got back their former coach Hartley, after the first game this year against Inverness, but his first game didn’t go well as they were trashed by the league leaders. He will certainly need time and he already brought couple of new players, the most notables goalkeeper Fox last played at Motherwell, midfielders Virtanen from Aberdeen and strikers Weston from Rangers and Paterson from Hartlepool. But they will have to do without two midfielders Masson and Leitch who both left the club.
