Redcar's Kevin Little will stand in for injured Matt Wethers in the Scottish Cup at Armadale on Friday.

Kevin guested for Monarchs against Somerset earlier in the season and dropped just one point that night. He knows the track as well as anyone and can usually be relied on for a sound show.

Of course the 34 year old Scot (birthday last Sunday) captained Monarchs to their last KO Cup win in 1999 and has been in winning Monarchs' teams in the Scottish Cup in the past.

Guests would normally only be available for no. 1 riders, but the rules are relaxed for Scottish Cup matches. Little has a lower average than Wethers.
