Wrexham And Moors On Course For Cup Clash

16 Oct 2019 By Tom Scott

Wrexham have learned their next opponents for the Scottish Challenge Cup after Dean Keates' first win back the Racecourse saw them progress to the quarter-final of the competition.

And the draw for the next round was made on Wednesday afternoon and Wrexham now know they will face National League counterparts Solihull Moors away if the Moors overcome Rangers Colts on October 29.

"It's a good mix [of teams]," Keates said after he got his first win since returning to Wrexham against St Mirren Colts on Saturday.

"It's a competition I want to show respect to but I used the game to get minutes into some of the players."

When asked whether he was targeting the competition as a realistic chance of silverware, Keates said: "As long as we don't end up travelling to Inverness in the next round we do.

"We want to win football games because winning football games breeds confidence. [Saturday's win] was another building block."
