Talbot were quick off the mark in announcing a decent pre-season schedule before the 2025/26 campaign goes into full swing. They face daunting trips to Lowland League sides Linlithgow Rose and Clydebank while taking on the local first division sides in the remaining fixtures.
The friendlies kick off with the visit of Kilbirnie Ladeside to Beechwood on the 7th July with a 2pm start. The “Blasties” are currently managed by Ex-Talbot player Colin Spence who is backed up by another Ex-Talbot favourite Willie Lyle. A right pair of legends who will be looking forward to a return to a ground where they were worshipped.
On Wednesday the 9th of July Talbot host Irvine Meadow with a 7.30 kick off. With the Talbot well in advance in their signings it will give Meadow manager Jamie McKim a chance to try out his new players as the Meadow battle to get back amongst the top flight once again.
Saturday the 12th of July has Talbot on the road to Lowland League side Linlithgow Rose who we had many a ding dong battle with during their time in the Juniors including two Scottish Cup finals where both sides have a share of the bragging rights. The Rose finished a creditable fifth in last season’s Lowland League as well as winning the East of Scotland Qualifying Cup beating Dunbar United 2-1 in the final. Prestonfield is an excellent ground to visit and well worth the trip.
Wednesday the 16th July see’s Ardrossan Winton Rovers visit Beechwood with a 7.30pm start and after securing their position in the WOSL 1st Division Gavin Friels and Chris McGowan will be looking for a better result than the last time both sides met in a friendly back in December last year where the “Bot” ran out 6-0 winners.
Put the 19th July into your calendar as we embark on the first ever WOSL Charity Cup final when we visit Clydebank with a 2pm kickoff. This is the first season of this cup where the WOSL Champions take on the WOSL League Cup winners, all in the aid of charity. Clydebank will be desperate to scoot through the Lowland League at the first attempt or face teaming up with some old foe’s as the new LL West comes into play during the 2026/27 season.

Talbot have been quick off the mark in the transfer market by signing experienced goalkeeper William Muir from 2nd Division Lanark United. The 32 year old has a wealth of experience starting at youth level with Aberdeen, Motherwell and Celtic before joining Ayr United in October 2012. He spent a year and a half at Somerset Park before a couple of brief spells at Cumnock and Shotts Bon Accord then joining Queens Park for the first time in July 2014.
He left the “Spiders” two seasons later, signing for East Fife, but after four months had returned to Queens where he stayed until the 19th January 2018 where he signed for Airdrieonians. After half a season with Airdrie he spent the same amount of time with Forfar Athletic. By December 2018 he had joined Kirkintilloch Rob Roy but after three months he had been snapped up by East Kilbride, but by July 2019 he had returned to Queens Park where he spent an eventful three season’s.
He joined his last SFL side Alloa Athletic on the 11th July 2022 spending six months with the “Wasps” before settling down at Lanark United. This season William was selected in the WOSL SM Media goalkeeper of the season for the second division. This was after winning the same award for the third division the previous season
Everybody connected with Talbot would like to welcome William to Beechwood.
Leaving the club will be our two loan players Cory Armour and Kenzie Mitchell who return to their parent clubs. Corey has been a mainstay in the Talbot side for the past season playing 46 games in nets where his performances improved continually as the season progressed. He returns to Kilmarnock for the start of the new season.
Youngster Kenzie Mitchell made sixteen appearances with Talbot due to signing with us late on in the season where he grabbed his only goal of his Talbot career against Beith. Kenzie returns to Ayr United.
We wish all the players all the best at their parent clubs and hope that their time at Beechwood was part of their learning curve as they endeavour to make a career in Scottish football.
Also leaving will be teenage striker Ryan Kennedy who was out on loan at Girvan. Talbot gave the youngster permission to speak to other clubs.
