'Poor decisions' cost nine-man Glencairn

Co-boss Joe Pryce admits he can’t fault his players after nine-man Rutherglen Glencairn were on the end of some ‘pretty poor’ refereeing in a narrow defeat to Vale of Clyde.

The Glens West of Scotland First Division promotion hopes suffered a dent after Aaron O'Hare' 22nd minute strike was all that separated the two sides in a game where Ryan Cherrie missed a first-half penalty for Vale.

Ants Maguire and Danny Connor both saw red for the visitors in the second half, but Glens pushed right to the end and almost snatched a point when Kyle Chrystal headed over from a couple of yards out.

Pryce said: "I hate talking about referees, especially when you've lost because it sounds like sour grapes, but anybody who was at the game can watch the highlights on our video and you can see the decisions.

"It isn’t just the sending offs, there was a penalty kick that Vale got which you could see was a dive - and the video shows it.
