The Farmer’s Boys left it late to seal a rare derby win at Dunterlie Park.

Neilston were the form side heading into the crunch Renfrewshi­re clash having gone eight games unbeaten.

“He didn’t have a great angle but you wouldn’t want anyone else getting that chance.

“He’s lethal in front of goal and he’s a hard
