PARTICK THISTLE are set to build a new stand on the site of their south terracing, which will make Firhill allseated with a capacity of 11,921.
The new structure will incorporate houses, similar to Firhill's north stand, which has student f lats at the back. "It is important to the long-term future of our club that this development goes ahead as it will allow us to pay off the debt incurred by building the north stand, said Brown McMaster, the Firhill chairman.
Falkirk supporters hoping to see Dwight Yorke, the former Manchester United striker, in Scott MacKenzie's testimonial game on Friday will be disappointed.
Russell Latapy, the Falkirk midfield player, was hoping to persuade his former Trinidad & Tobago teammate to turn out for the match against Dunfermline.
However, Yorke is tied up in talks about a lucrative move to the Middle East.
Kenny Deuchar, the Gretna striker, is about to be offered a bumper new contract, with Brooks Mileson, the club owner, claiming no club in Britain could buy his prized asset.
The player equalled Jimmy Greaves' hat-trick record of six trebles in a season in Saturday's 6-1 win against Peterhead to take his tally to 36. Deuchar is now just two goals short of equalling a league scoring record jointly held by Henrik Larsson and Brian McClair.
Asked if his club can keep Deuchar, Mileson said: "I hope so and I don't think any side, at any level in Scotland or England will be able to take him away from us.
"We don't need the money. A few people have come in with cheeky offers and I've said: 'You can't afford him.'"
