With the team about to play its 200^th league game in the SPFL, in this feature we put the spotlight on the men who have scored the goals which have helped the club to some memorable successes.

And there is no surprise that one player dominates the scoring charts!

Mitch Megginson’s tally of eighty-six league goals represents just over a quarter of the total we have scored during our time in Leagues One, Two, and the Championship, and he has been top marksman in four of our six campaigns to date.

TOP TEN LEAGUE GOALSCORERS DURING SPFL ERA…

PLAYER	TOTAL	2019-20	2020-21	2021-22	2022-23	2023-24	2024-25	2025-26

Rory McAllister	24	3	5	16
Jamie Masson	22	15	3	2	2
Fraser Fyvie	22	5		8		2	7
Rumarn Burrell	21					21
Connor Scully	16		1	2	7	5	1
Leighton McIntosh	14		2	4	8

Adam Emslie	12						12
Declan Glass	10	6			1		3

Mitch is one of only four players to have claimed a league hat-trick for the club, becoming the first to do so in a 5-2 win over East Fife in August 2021. He was followed by Rory McAllister, Rumarn Burrell, twice, and more recently, David Eguaibor.

Mitch has twice scored in five successive League One games, but that is one club record he cannot claim, Rumarn having netted in eight in a row in the 2023-24 season. Now at QPR, Burrell was top league scorer in that campaign, while Leighton McIntosh edged Mitch out during the Championship season.

All told, forty-six players have scored SPFL league goals for Cove Rangers with just ten, as listed above, getting into double figures. Well over half have netted fewer than four times.

Shay Logan made the most appearances (50) without scoring a league goal, beaten even by legendary goalkeeper Stuart McKenzie, who netted a long-range effort to secure a 1-0 win at Peterhead in January 2022.
