Dumbarton's Kalvin Orsi admits he couldn't remember last goal after ending 785 day drought

And he said he’s loving being reunited with cousin Carlo Pignatiello - with the Scottish-Italian duo proving almost unstoppable down Dumbarton’s right-wing.

The 26-year-old added: “It’s been brilliant playing with Carlo again. I think that we work well together, we get each
