3SC are battle-ready for Plateau Utd —Busari

Chairman of Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan, Mr Gbolagade Busari has said that his men are battle-ready to face the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) leader, Plateau United today.

The match day 12 NPFL fixture holds at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Ibadan, and Busari believes with the preparation of his team, the visitors would return to Jos empty-handed.

He said the result against Enyimba FC (0-0) in their last away game has become a morale booster for the Oluyole Warriors ahead of today’s clash.

“We have psyched up our players towards the match against Plateau United and they have promised to put in their best and make our fans happy.

“We’ve recorded two home draws this season {against MFM and Remo Stars} and we don’t want any home draw again this season. We are ready to win our remaining home matches and pick up as many away points as possible because that is the only way we can reclaim the lost points at home.

“Plateau United are topping the table but their pedigree won’t give us any headache, we are well prepared to win on Sunday,” Busari said.

3SC leading scorer, Sunday Faleye want their teeming fans to come out en masse today to support them.

“I am hoping that our fans will come out in large numbers and cheer us to victory when we face Plateau United. We are not happy with our position on the table and we are determined to take 3SC back to where they belong,” Faleye said.

Meanwhile, Plateau United’s Elisha Golbe has said The Peace Boys who are leading the table with 21 points from 11 games are in Ibadan for business.

“Shooting Stars are doing well, they held Enyimba in Calabar to a draw but that does not mean that they can’t drop point in Ibadan as well.”

“We shall give them a very good fight on Sunday {today}. Though we drew at home in our last game but we have since moved from that match, our target is to explore opportunities here in Ibadan for points.

“We mean business, we have been in Ibadan since Friday, that means we shall have time to rest and prepare for the match,” Golbe said.
