First final in 35 years for Glasgow Mid Argyll

Glasgow Mid Argyll 2 Inveraray 1 Former Oban Celtic player Ally McKerracher was the toast of Glasgow Mid Argyll as his double in the 3pm throw-up against Inveraray at Peterson Park sent his side into next month’s Scottish Sea Farms Glasgow Celtic Society Cup final.
McKerracher got GMA off to a great start with a goal on eight minutes when he rolled the full-back before slotting the ball past Inveraray keeper Scott MacLachlan from the edge of the box.
Then, on 57 minutes, the ball broke to McKerracher from a poor clearance out of the visiting defence and he drove the ball into the net.
Both McKerracher goals were good finishes, but GMA were also wasteful in front of goal and should have scored more, and they were forced to endure a nervy end to the match when, on 74 minutes, Fraser Watt scored his fifth goal over the last four matches to make it 2-1.
However GMA stayed in front to reach the final of a trophy the Glasgow side hasn’t won since 1987.
