Glens and Lang serve up a cracker

-

Jamie Hamilton’s injury time strike claimed Glencairn a point at the hands of rivals Cambuslang Rangers in an epic derby encounter.

The 21-year-old levelled the game at 2-2 in front of a crowd of more than 200 at Somervell Park.

Jamie Macleod opened the scoring for the Lang in the first half before Bob Davidson got a second on 74 minutes.

With six minutes remaining Craig McGregor headed Glencairn a lifeline and winger Hamilton struck late on to end a pulsating match.

Glens boss Willie Harvey, who signed the youngster from Lesmahagow Juniors, said:“He’s a right-footed player. We put him out wide to cause problems because we knew he‘d cut inside.

“He’ll not be known in our division but a couple of the Cambuslang boys know him from his time at Lesmahagow. Every time he got the ball he was put under threat and people got right on top of him and never gave him a chance.

“But he just needs that one chance. He runs at people and takes them on.”
