A thrilling Scottish Cup clash where friendship turns into fierce rivalry.
In an exciting twist of fate, the upcoming fourth round of the Scottish Cup will see Elgin City striker Dajon Golding and Aberdeen winger Shayden Morris face off against each other. The match, scheduled for January 18, promises to be a thrilling encounter, especially given the personal history between the two players.
Golding and Morris, both Englishmen, first crossed paths in London, where they developed a friendship through mutual acquaintances.
Their bond strengthened when they reunited in Aberdeen last year, following Golding’s transfer to Cove Rangers. The two players have since become close friends, supporting each other both on and off the pitch.
Golding expressed his admiration for Morris, stating, “He’s doing well after last season. It was a tough one for him coming back from injury, but I’m just glad that he’s getting his opportunity and thriving.” This sentiment reflects the camaraderie that exists in the competitive world of football, where friendships can blossom even among rivals.
Despite the excitement surrounding the cup tie, Golding remains focused on Elgin City’s league performance. After suffering a disappointing 4-2 defeat to Stirling Albion, the team has dropped to third place in League Two, trailing leaders East Fife and second-placed Peterhead by just one point. Golding emphasized the importance of concentrating on upcoming league games, stating, “The cup tie will be exciting, but the most important thing is the league games we’ve got coming up.”
With a rescheduled fixture against Clyde on the horizon, Golding believes the team must regroup and refocus. “We’ve worked hard in the last couple of months to put ourselves in a good position, but the last two games have set us back. We’re only one point off the top, and we are ready to go again,” he remarked.
As the match against Clyde approaches, Golding acknowledges the challenges posed by injuries within the squad. However, he insists that the depth of the team should be sufficient to secure positive results. “We’ve got a deep enough squad to get results. If we can’t do that, we won’t have results, and it will be days like we had on Saturday,” he cautioned.
Golding’s determination to succeed is evident as he prepares for the upcoming matches. “The gaffer doesn’t really have to say anything to get us wound up. We know what’s at stake and what we want to achieve as a team,” he concluded. With the Scottish Cup clash looming, fans can expect a fierce battle between two friends turned rivals, each eager to prove their worth on the pitch.
