Joe Pryce hailed hat-trick hero Boris Melingui after Glencairn shot down a Kirkintilloch Rob Roy side he feels are in a false position.

The slender win at the Hamish B. Allan Stadium keeps Glencairn in the promotion hopes alive, while John Gibson's Rabs are just two points above the relegation zone.

Melingui bagged an 18-minute hat-trick, putting Glens ahead in five minutes, doubling that lead in 17, and adding his third in 23 minutes, 60 seconds after an Oli Black own-goal had brought Kirkintilloch back into the game.

Jamie McLean added a second goal for the visitors in 53 minutes, but Glens held on to a crucial win, adding to a 3-2 victory at Thorniewood on Wednesday, in which Melingui also scored.
