DAVID MATHIESON"Smiler"
David Mathieson
After three 100% appearance seasons, David suffered a major blow when he damaged a knee ligament in a pre-season match, this means that we will not see Smiler between the sticks until December at the earliest. He is a local lad from Kircudbright. Very quick off his line. He plays in the Scotland under 21 team and features regularly in the squad. Ex Scottish schoolboy cap who was once on the books of Rangers and St Johnstone. Spends his spare time playing tennis and golf.
