Edinburgh City.........4 Elgin ............................ 0

Edinburgh City boss James McDonaugh hailed his side’s thrashing of Elgin as the best performance of his reign.

Craig Beattie headed the home side 1- 0 up after 15 minutes and the lead was increased just before half-time when keeper Brett Long

horribly misjudged a Josh Walker long-range effort.

Two goals inside five minutes in the second half from Gareth Rodger and Farid El Alagui finished off Elgin.

McDonaugh, in charge of City since October, said: “That has been a long time coming.”
