Cambuslang Rangers co-boss Billy Campbell admits his side are ‘in the mire’ and face a ‘massive week’ if they are to cling on to any faint hopes of staying in the top flight this season.The Somervell Park side were defeated 1-0 by title-chasing Darvel on Saturday to leave them two points adrift of Kilwinning Rangers at the bottom of the 16-team WoSFL Premier Division.They now host 12th-place Kirkintilloch Rob Roy on Saturday before welcoming Kilwinning next Wednesday night and Campbell admitted: “It’s a massive week for us now.“There’s no doubt about it, we are absolutely in the mire so Saturday is massive.“If we get beat on Saturday, we are facing the reality of what is coming in the next month or so.“The bigger game in the last month was Petershill last week [a 4-2 defeat] and if we’d taken something from that it would have been big, but the way things are now, the next couple of games are massive.”Scott Ferguson’s strike for Darvel after 51 minutes was enough for the visitors to take all three points, but Campbell said he couldn’t fault his side against a superior opponent.”The guys work hard and the effort is there, but we are just a wee bit far away,” he said.“In the last 15-20 minutes we tend to run out of steam or the opposition makes some real positive changes and we suffer for it.“We have lost an awful lot of games 1-0, 2-1 and conceded goals in the last minute.“We competed really well on Saturday.
