The thoughts of Manager Jonny Stewart as we go into this massive match

Welcome back to NDP for what is the last game of the season and the last game before the pitch gets ripped up.

It has been a very tough season for the club, on and off the pitch for a number of reasons and it all comes down to this one game.

There’s no denying we are up against after the defeat last week but there is still enough belief and quality in this squad that we can turn it around.

We need every single supporter right behind us from the first minute to the last.

This club deserves to stay in the league, and we will not give up.

We’ve seen many big performances and comebacks over the years from Bonnyrigg teams so let’s make this the biggest and best yet!

Cmon the rose ?
