Veteran campaigner Peter Weatherson had just netted to put the visitors up 4-3 with less than a minute remaining of normal time.

However, straight from kick-off, McLean took the ball on a mazy dribble, evading the challenge of several Annan defenders before lofting an audacious effort over the goalkeeper that dropped into the net at the back post.
