Edinburgh City left frustrated by East Kilbride stalemate as Spartans are hit for four
Edinburgh City boss Michael McIndoe felt his side should have taken all three points against SPFL League Two title challengers East Kilbride.
The Citizens were forced to settle for a point at K-Park in a game they created a host of goalscoring opportunities, Innes Lawson putting the visitors ahead with a cool finish in the 20th minute.
But former City striker Connor Young curled a superb free-kick beyond Mark Weir 10 minutes before the interval to level things up.
The point on the road leaves the Meadowbank club eight points adrift of Stirling Albion at the foot of the table.
McIndoe said afterwards: "We edged it again if I am being honest. That's twice we've played them and that's twice I felt we should have taken all three points. We've had six, seven, eight really good chances, probably a couple of penalties we may or may not have got.
"There were probably about 10 times today you were watching a Championship team in the making, the link-up, the fluidity, it was just that final piece of the jigsaw puzzle.
"The players are expressing themselves a lot more and we went back into our formation and the players enjoyed it. I'm excited about the next three or four weeks."
Elsewhere, league leaders Spartans suffered a shock 4-0 home defeat to Stranraer, a result that sees Dougie Samuel's side's lead cut to just a single point.
Deryn Lang, Mark Russell from the penalty spot, Aaron Quigg, and Evan Dunne were all on target for the Blues at the Vanloq Community Stadium.
Meanwhile, Bonnyrigg Rose are up to second in the Lowland League after a 2-0 win over Broxburn Athletic at New Dundas Park.
The Rosey Posey are now just four points off the pace of leaders Clydebank.
Billy King and a Neil Martyniuk penalty in the final 15 minutes won it for the hosts who are on an impressive run of form.
Tranent are hot on their heels, level on the same points, but sitting third by the virtue of an inferior goal difference.
Robbie Horn's men ran out 2-1 winners over Caledonian Braves at Foresters Park.
Civil Service Strollers were 2-0 victors at East Stirlingshire.
