Harry still game for a tilt at top

GAYFIELD has a midfield boasting Miniesta and Flynniesta - and Harry Cochrane is convinced the combination can only raise his stature.

The 24-year-old put his other half's mind at ease by checking in to Arbroath last month as their family prepares for a new arrival.

But he’s hellbent on his first steps in part-time football not being his last in full-time, having moved up a league after exiting Queen of the South following 131 games.

Two-year-old son Albie is due to have a wee sister come December while his dad now has an older figure to follow around in former St Mirren favourite Ryan Flynn - Flynniesta to the Buddies faithful.

Cochrane, dubbed Miniesta by Isma Goncalves as a kid at Hearts, joins a group whose success under David Gold and Colin Hamilton saw the co-gaffers sign two-year contract extensions this week.
