United ended the season in better fashion than they had begun it by grabbing the two points to hoist their 17 game second half tally to an impressive 28 points—having picked up only eight from the opening half of the term.

But Dennis Gillespie changed all that when he rose to nod in a perfect Dossing cross to edge United ahead. However, the Fir Park visitors hit back six minutes later when Coakley cut back a pass for Donnachie to net the equaliser.
