It was only after going behind that the home side got into their stride, but they were fortunate not to fall further behind six minutes from the end when Doug Smith stepped up to take a penalty after Paddy Gardner was tripped in the box by Dave Johnston. Unfortunately his effort crashed against the bar and Andy Gray headed the rebound over.
