Coasters boss says platform provided by point

Lossiemouth picked up their fourth point of the season in a well-merited and entertaining goalless draw at Buckie Thistle.

“I told the guys at half time that if we gave Lossiemouth something to hold on to then they would up their game, and that’s exactly how it turned out.”
