With just three games to go Dumbarton are tied with Queens in the final play-off position with the teams due to meet at the Rock on Saturday.

Megginson spent the early part of his career with Premiership side Aberdeen but he admits that any games with the Dons pale into insignificance when compared with this weekend’s tie.

The 21-year-old winger said: “Saturday will be the biggest game of my career so far. If we win it we could be three points ahead of Queen of the South and, with two games to go, that would be excellent.

“We need to prepare right, get ourselves ready for the Queens game and go and give everything.

“With two games to go you want something to play for and with the belief and quality the boys have there is no reason why we can’t win those and reach the play-offs.” Dumbarton go into the game in impressive form, with Saturday’s 3-1 win in Kirkcaldy following a 4-1 win against Alloa and Megginson continued: “It was a great result and I thoroughly enjoyed the game — I thought it was one of our best results this season.

“We played well last week and that gave us confidence for this week — we knew what we had to do — we had to start well and press them from the off and we knew we would score.

“It is then just about working as a team and not conceding and then we know we are going to win games.

“I thought we dominated from the start, when they scored they had a wee spell but that was always going to happen but I thought we handled it excellently and we could have scored a few more.

“The win puts us right in the hunt for fourth.” Following the match with Queen of the South, Dumbarton take on the league’s top two sides, Hamilton and then Dundee, but Megginson believes the team have what it takes to rise to the challenge, he added: “It couldn’t be harder but I think we know we play better when we face tough opposition — we have beaten Hamilton already this season, we have beaten Queens, we should have beaten Dundee twice so there is no reason why we can’t beat any of them.”
