Brora Rangers: The Highland football team hoping to be the UK’s most northerly professional club

Residents of Brora said excitement was building ahead of the weekend’s crunch match.

But life-long fan Struan Gunn was left with a painful reminder of last Saturday’s 1-1 draw.

The 35-year-old broke a finger celebrating Brora Rangers’ opening goal.

“I got a little bit excited and ended up having to go to hospital,” said Gunn.

He said securing promotion would be a dream come true.

“It will bring in a lot of income and for younger people playing football it would be a stepping stone for them as well,” he said.

“I watched Brora since I was tiny, and was going to games where we were losing five, six-nil, and now we’re potentially going into the Scottish leagues.”

Asked how he would celebrate a win over Edinburgh City, he said: “There will be tears.”
