Albion Rovers 2 St Andrews Utd 1: Ten-man Rovers edge into Scottish Cup third round

dailyrecord.co.uk

Ten-man Albion Rovers edged past St Andrews United to book their place in the Scottish Cup third round - and deliver a birthday present for gaffer Sandy Clark.

Former Rangers and Airdrie striker Clark turned 67 today and although his side put him through the mill at moments, he will be able to celebrate seeing his side in Sunday's draw.

Niyah Joseph struck in 66 minutes with an impressive first-time finish, having twice been denied by the woodwork in the first half with a header and an outrageous effort from near the halfway line, to break the deadlock at Cliftonhill.

East of Scotland League side St Andrews - who had defeated West of Scotland Premier giants Auchinleck Talbot in the previous round - came roaring back seven minutes later when substitute Lewis Sawers looked like he might spoil Clark's party.
