Club chairman Kenny Cameron said: “We applied for a court order to have them removed prior to Saturday’s home game as the travellers had moved on to the overflow car park area despite it being locked fast.
“That was granted today and papers served by the sheriff’s officer at lunchtime give the travellers until Friday morning to challenge the order. If not the officers will be on site tomorrow afternoon to evict them and hopefully that will be that.”
