There are 15 points to play for and we want as many as we can get


A 3-0 home loss to Alloa Athletic, coupled with Dumbarton taking a point against Montrose, meant the gap from bottom to ninth was increased to four.
But with five games of the season left, there are still 15 points up for grabs.

Hide AdDefender Scott Mercer appreciates fully the scale of the task at hand but he believes the team has shown enough over the past couple of months to suggest they’re capable of ensuring a late twist in the season’s tale.
Reflecting on Saturday’s defeat first, he said: “We came out in the first-half and were good and competitive, there wasn’t much in it.
"We then lose a poor goal, similar to last week.
"The second one, I’ll need to see it back but I really don’t think it was a penalty.
"Then we don’t get one up the other end which is a stonewaller.

"We don’t have long left so we need to dust ourselves down and really kick on from now.
"There are five games left and we want to take as many points as possible.
"Since the gaffer has come in, defensively we’ve improved vastly.
