GRETNA boss Davie Irons last night warned new boy Tony Caig he has a fight on his hands trying to dislodge keeper Greg Fleming.
The former Hibee finally completed his move from Vancouver Whitecaps last week and was on the bench against Celtic on Sunday.
And Irons insists Caig, 33, will remain there if Fleming keeps up his impressive form.
He said: "It's been a long, drawn-out process with Tony due to problems regarding his contract at Vancouver.
"But Greg's come on leaps and bounds this season and Tony appreciates that he'll have to fight for his place.

"Tony's registered as an amateur until Christmas - giving us the competition we need.
"I had to sign Colin Scott, who retired in the summer, as cover after David Mathieson picked up a back injury.
"But Colin can hang up his gloves again now that we've finally got things sorted with Tony.
"And it's up to Tony to get himself match-fit and into the team."
