Steins player Dean follows in grandad’s footsteps...

CUP WIN IN THE FAMILY

It was a dream Hampden night for Stirling footballer Dean Manson as he proved that cup final success really does run in the family.

The 21-year-old was part of the successful Steins Thistle side who won the showpiece Scottish Amateur Cup final at the National Stadium for the first time in the club’s history.

They defeated Wishaw outfit FC Pather 3-1 on Thursday night and avenged their defeat in the 2023 final where they lost out to Cupar Hearts.

But Manson had family history on his side, following in the footsteps of grandfather David Wade, who also lifted the cup in 1978 with Cambusbarron Rovers.
