Cylde 1-2 Elgin City

Elgin scored two second-half goals as they came from behind to beat Clyde 2-1 at the Broadwood Stadium.

Chances were at a premium in the first half with neither side able to create any clear-cut chances.

Clyde took the lead in fortuitous fashion after 23 minutes when David Niven nodded an Iain Gray cross past his own goalkeeper.

The Bully Wee hit back just after the restart as Daniel Moore's stunning free-kick from distance left David Crawford with no chance.

And they took the lead immediately. Moore was involved again as his corner was headed home by Mark Durnan.

Despite a late surge from the hosts, Elgin held firm to claim all three points.

Victory lifts them within two points of the play-off positions with a game in hand on their promotion rivals.

Elgin City 3-1 East Stirling

Archie MacPhee's stunning strike helped Elgin City beat East Stirling 3-1 and had manager Ross Jack purring with delight.

And Jack was a happy man at full time after seeing his team perform close to their full potential.The on-loan Ross County player's 20 yard blast paved the way for City's victory at Borough Briggs, which ended a run of six games without a win.

“That was an outstanding performance,” said the Elgin boss. “In terms of possession we had something like 70, 80 per cent and we didn't have a failure out there.

“Despite all our domination we were still being held at 1-1, until Archie came up with a goal that was worth waiting for.”

MacPhee netted his first senior goal in style, thrashing home a left foot effort into the top corner on 73 minutes.

It was a vital breakthrough for Elgin, who were impressive in the first half but were almost made to pay for their failure to take their chances.

Playing into the wind, City nearly suffered an early shock when Shire keeper Calum Antell's attempt to emulate Everton goalie Tim Howard's midweek goal missed the home goal by inches.

Elgin soon got in their stride and were denied by some great Antell saves, keeping out shots from Craig Gunn, Stuart Leslie, Paul Millar and Daniel Moore.

Eventually Leslie opened the scoring three minutes from half time, finishing off Mark Nicolson's pass from 12 yards.

But in a rare attack Shire won a penalty when an Elgin clearance hit Jamie Duff's hand, and Bradley Coyne levelled from the spot with seconds left of the half.

MacPhee's brilliant strike restored City's advantage and sub Jason Crooks made sure in the final minute when he broke through and finished coolly.

Jack reshuffled his line up, bringing defenders MacPhee and Nicolson into midfield and handing a starting debut to trialist left back Paul McMullan, who has now been signed.

“Paul showed what he will bring to us, but everyone out there played very well and I'm pleased with the performance and result.

“Our home form has been good this season but now we need to start picking up points away from home, starting with Queen's park at Hampden next week.
