After defeat against Cardiff Metropolitan University on Friday night, attention now turns to the Boxing Day clash with Cefn Druids, as The New Saints look to return to winning ways.

The loss against the Archers brought an end to a sequence of five consecutive wins in all competitions for Scott Ruscoe’s side, reducing their lead in the JD Cymru to just a single point, so Thursday’s trip to The Rock has taken on added significance.

With the first team squad training ahead of the game at Park Hall this morning, the TNS manager held his latest pre-match press conference, where we asked him about the challenge posed by the Ancients, plus more.

Watch the video below to hear Scott’s thoughts.
