On this week’s Highland League Weekly, brought to you by The Press and Journal, the panel break down a dramatic weekend across the Breedon Highland League.

We analyse Brora Rangers’ 4–1 win over Buckie Thistle, with a detailed look at Shane Sutherland’s all-round performance and a first half that unravelled rapidly for Buckie despite a promising start. The discussion then turns to three major refereeing decisions at Dudgeon Park, including a controversial early red card, a debated handball denying a clear goalscoring opportunity, and the knock-on impact of yellow cards that changed the shape of the game.

Elsewhere, there’s reaction to Huntly’s hard-earned victory over Deveronvale, as Vale’s difficult run of form continues, and analysis of Forres Mechanics v Banks o’ Dee, including another red card flashpoint and the impact of new loan signings.

The episode finishes with a review of the Highland League Cup tie between Nairn County and Brechin City, a match played in challenging conditions - and memorable for off-pitch issues including changing room problems and a lack of basic facilities.

Insight, debate and a few moments of Highland League chaos – all in Episode 24.

The Highland League action continues! In this episode, we head to Harmsworth Park as Wick Academy hosts Inverurie Locos in a tense, hard-fought encounter. While the points were shared in a 0-0 draw, both sides showed incredible grit in difficult January conditions.

We also round up the rest of the weekend’s weather-affected card. Formartine United extends their lead at the top of the table with a dominant 4-0 win over Strathspey Thistle, fueled by a brace from the clinical Rory McAllister. Meanwhile, Buckie Thistle found their scoring boots in an 8-0 routing of Rothes, featuring a lightning-fast opening goal just 42 seconds in.

Plus, we discuss:

• Banks o' Dee's comfortable victory at Deveronvale.

• The historic appointment of Gordon Watson at Strathspey Thistle.

• An update on the Highland League table as the title race heats up

A weekend dominated by winter weather still delivers major talking points in the Highland League, as Fraserburgh make the most of being the only side in action.

In this abridged episode of Highland League Weekly, Ryan Crail is joined by Colin Laird to analyse Fraserburgh’s convincing victory over Wick Academy — the sole Highland League fixture to survive the big freeze. The panel breaks down a dominant first-half display, Fraser Mackie’s impact on his return, and how the result keeps the Broch firmly in the title conversation.

There’s also discussion on Wick Academy’s response after the break, key injuries, and the wider implications for the league table with so many fixtures postponed, before turning attention to recent managerial changes elsewhere in the division.
