Cambuslang Rangers bag impressive win despite missing eight players

Cambuslang Rangers beat Caledonian Locomotive 4-1 on Saturday, despite missing EIGHT first-team players.

Goals from Godson Nechi, Carlos Lang, Owen McGinty and an own-goal gave Camby a comfortable win at Stepford Park, moving them up to ninth in the West of Scotland Second Division, and leaving them three points off third-placed Larkhall Thistle.

“But it seems to be clearing up a bit, so hopefully we can start to get some of them back.”

Camby’s win has been a real tonic for McColl, however, after a string of results where they’ve lost by the odd goal.
