Scarborough Athletic Look To Take Down FA Cup Giantkillers in Promotion Six-Pointer

Boro take on Macclesfield at the Mounting Systems Stadium on Saturday.

The Seadogs currently occupy seventh spot in National North, the final play-off spot. Their Cheshire visitors are one place and one point below Jono Greening's men, but hold four games in hand.

Macclesfield, managed by Wayne Rooney's younger brother John, knocked Crystal Palace out of the FA Cup, last month. They were promoted from the NPL Premier, where Whitby play their football, as champions, last April. 

Greening told Paddy that his side are focused ahead of the clash:

 "We're obviously serious, so we want to get in the play-offs, but every single game is massive for us. Now we want to get in the play-offs, starting Saturday against Macclesfield. I just said to the boys in there to rest up and, you know, recover really well because it's such an important game for us, like every single game, until the end of the season. Because, at the end of the season we want to be in the play-off spots."

Boro saw their six-match unbeaten run end on Tuesday night, losing 2-1 at struggling Alfreton.

Greening was adamant that defeat "won't define our season".

Kick-off on Saturday is 3pm.
