Leyton Orient striker Scott McGleish has promised Colchester supporters he will show them the utmost respect if he scores against the U’s on Saturday.
McGleish scored 42 goals in 174 appearances during two spells at
Colchester and holds the club dear to his heart.
However, after a public fall out with
Wycombe boss Peter Taylor, when he scored the only goal of the game for
Leyton Orient against Wycombe last week, his celebrations were unrestrained as he released pent-up frustration.
But he admits it will be a different story if he nets for Orient at Brisbane Road on Saturday.
“I have strong affection for Colchester United,” McGleish told the East Anglian Daily Times.
“I wouldn't ever apologise or not celebrate if I scored against them, but there certainly wouldn't be anything over the top like we have seen in the last few weeks.
“I feel fit and that when a chance comes I'm ready to put it away, but we know Colchester is going to be a tough game. I always look out for my old clubs results and obviously had double interest in Colchester when my old Wycombe manager Paul Lambert was there.
“I got on really well with Paul and the stick he has got since leaving Colchester has probably been a little bit harsh.
“All and sundry are now saying they were unhappy at some point or another with Paul, but everyone thought he was the best thing since sliced bread after that 7-1 win over
Norwich.
“It just shows how fickle football can be, but he's gone now and I dare say Colchester feel they are better off.”
