The Glasgow side have now taken only one point from their last five games after goals from Scott Chaplain and David Hopkirk earned the hosts, second bottom of the Third Division, only their second win in 12 outings.

Hopkirk sealed a deserved victory with six minutes left when he tapped into an open goal after unselfish play from Michael Daly.
