Highland League Weekly Ep 26 | Historic Goal Record, First Win in 15 Months & Title Race Heats Up

Описание: On this week’s episode of Highland League Weekly, we round up another dramatic weekend across the Highland League, featuring record-breaking moments, crucial wins at both ends of the table, and big statements in the title race.

We start with analysis of Huntly vs Brechin City, including a controversial late incident and discussion around whether the decisive moment was the right call.

There’s a huge moment at the bottom of the table as Rothes secure their first win in 15 months, giving Ronnie Sharp his first victory as manager and breathing new life into the relegation battle. 

Attention then turns to a historic individual achievement, as Scott Barbour becomes the Highland League’s leading goalscorer of the 21st century, breaking the record with a brace in Fraserburgh's win against Lossiemouth. We look at where this places him in the all-time rankings and whether an even bigger milestone could still be in reach.

At the top end of the table, Brora Rangers make a major statement with a 7–1 win, despite squad injuries, while Clachnacuddin fight back to beat Buckie Thistle, keeping the title race incredibly tight. We also reflect on defensive issues, momentum swings, and just how fine the margins are among the contenders.

We wrap up with analysis of Nairn County vs Wick Academy, a competitive draw that highlights consistency issues, pressure moments, and why a single point can feel very different depending on perspective.

All that, plus reaction, debate, and context from another packed Highland League weekend.
