East of Scotland: Penicuik Athletic snatch a 95th-minute winner against Musselburgh to keep title hopes alive

Captain Kieran Watson headed home from a corner with the very last touch of the game to edge out Musselburgh 1-0 and spark euphoric scenes at Penicuik Park.

For relieved Penicuik boss Steve McLeish, the result was more important than the performance, especially after Liam O’Donnell – on as a half-time sub – was sent off for a second yellow card offence in the 77th minute.

In a scrappy game of few chances, Musselburgh Athletic boss Joe Hamill felt his team deserved at least a point and was frustrated when one scrambled attempt following a free kick into the box appeared to cross the line but was not given.

Tranent were comfortable 3-0 winners at home to Camelon, Rory Currie with a brace and Ben Miller on target, but third-placed Linlithgow Rose lost ground with a 0-0 draw at fourth-placed Jeanfield Swifts and must now win their remaining four games to keep their slim title hopes alive.
