Tam Jamieson in Port Glasgow rallying call for Maryhill tie

The Undertakers welcome the Glasgow club to Parklea on Saturday in the second of two back-to-back home cup ties.

Jamieson's men upset the odds to book their place in the last eight by seeing off Second Division Whitletts Vics last month.

The Undertakers boss has been happy to see his side win five on the bounce (Image: Kenny Ramsay) Victory over West Park United in the South Challenge Cup last weekend made it five wins on the bounce, and Jamieson couldn't be happier to see the fixtures keep on rolling in, particularly at home, as the Fourth Division side look to move one step closer to potential cup glory.

"We're happy that the batch of cup games have been at home," he told the Tele.

"It's been good to have that run of games at home, regardless of whether it's in the league or the cups, because wins breed confidence."

"Similar to Whitletts, they're two leagues above us, but we're really looking forward to it.

"It'll be a really tough test for us, but I think we can give anyone a game at home.

"It's a quarter final, so the chance to potentially be within 90 minutes of a final so early on in the season is quite something.

 "We'll take it, and hopefully we can do enough to get there."

Port have been firing on all cylinders recently (Image: Kenny Ramsay) The Port have been involved in high-scoring affairs in the last few weeks, but Jamieson isn't getting too worried about the amount of goals being conceded as his side continue to find the back of the net on a regular basis.

He does, though, hammer the point that his side should be converting more shots on goal with the amount of chances that they create.

He added: "We will get stronger at the back, because it's all things that we can work on, with injured boys coming back into the fold.

"But it's by no means a bad thing to be scoring the amount of goals we are, even if I do wish we were scoring even more.

"The boys might be having a moan when I'm on at them saying we should be looking to score six, seven and eight. But we should be with the chances we are creating.

"And with all due respect, it's poor goals that we find ourselves losing, which is frustrating.

"But we'll work with it going forward, it'll be worked on going into this game."

The form of on-loan Morton goalkeeper Sam Murdoch has been a big factor on the Port’s recent form: at 17years old, this young man will have a big future in the professional game and already looks like an experienced campaigner at such a young age in recent matches.

Port have also included theirunder 20s in every match this season, with Stuart Cameron, Ben McGillivray  and Alex Higgins all stepping up to make a claim.

Port Glasgow’s high press game has seen them blow teams away but will be up against a team two divisions above them.

Maryhill boss Mark Young added: "We know Port Glasgow beat Whitletts in the last round, and we all know how good a side they are.

"We need to be up and ready for this as the division the Port are in is not a reflection of the team they are."

Port Glasgow will have ex manager Willie McFarlane and former players from the club's most successful team, who won the Central A Division in 1978/79, as their guests for the match.

The match ball will be sponsored by Alan and Brian Wylie. 

The Port's sponsors are Dragon Soup, Coop Funeralcare, The Caledonian Bar, Autotec, Dunns MOT Centre, Clydeview Motors and Dare2Create.
