Description

The post-Christmas Highland League programme delivered another round of big results, tight title-race margins, and plenty of debate.

In this episode of Highland League Weekly, Ryan Cryle is joined by Paul Third and Callum Law to review all six Breedon Highland League matches played on Saturday. The conversation centres on a 1–1 draw between Brechin City and Banks o’ Dee, a game that highlighted the quality of both sides and underlined how close the title race remains.

The panel also assess Formartine United’s latest win as they move clear at the top, Brora Rangers’ return to form, and strong away victories for Nairn County and Forres Mechanics. Along the way, there is discussion of refereeing decisions, penalty appeals, red cards, goalkeeping errors, and the impact of returning players after injury.

With the Highland League table tightly packed and the second half of the season approaching, this episode looks at which teams are best placed to push on into 2025.
