Fans attending tonight’s match with Hamilton are reminded that the first official history of Cove Rangers FC is now available to buy.

The perfect Christmas present, ‘100 YEARS COVE RANGERS FC: A history of the club’s rise through the ranks of Scottish Football’ has been written by local journalist, Charlie Allan.

It is a fascinating and revealing journey across the decades which notes the existence of a team in Cove in the late 19^th century, but explains why the club, as we know it, has been celebrating a significant milestone in 2022.

Drawing on press reports and club records, the narrative weaves through many challenging spells – including one season when Cove Rangers went ‘defunct’ – and tells how those in charge did everything they could to keep pushing forward.

There are in-depth chapters highlighting the key figures whose determination and ambition ultimately helped to bring success to Allan Park and Balmoral Stadium, interviews with players and staff past and present, and a chance to view previously unseen pictures from the Cove archives.

Four of the main driving forces behind the progression of the club – Honorary President Alan McRae, Chairman Keith Moorhouse, Director of Football John Sheran and Secretary Duncan Little – were on hand for the launch earlier this week, along with ex-players, Eric Watson and Graeme Park, midfielder Fraser Fyvie, and Terry Cobban of club sponsor ACE.

The book, which costs just £15, can be bought online at the Cove Rangers FC website, or from the club shop.
