Keeper Mark Fotheringham was dismissed after bringing down Alex Miller just outside the box.

But the relegation-threatened hosts immediately regained the lead through Kyle Lander.

Two Sean Lally strikes sealed an afternoon to forget for Alan McSkimming’s men.

Hill of Beath twice had to come from behind to pick up a precious point at Camelon.
