Star only had 11 players available due to the October break, but took the lead after just nine minutes when James Gallacher made a surging run up the right side before sidestepping Musselburgh’s left-back and finding he net.

It was quickly 2-0 after Gallacher was played in by centre midfielder Daniel King and he made no mistake.

Santosh Rowe, Hamish Brown and King all went close to making it three as Currie looked to continue the second half in the same vein as the first.

It took until midway through the second period for the hosts to increase their lead, with Brown finding striker Ben Smyth, who controlled the ball well before finding the net from the edge of the box.

Winger Gallacher would round off the scoring and celebrate his hat-trick in style when he got on the end of Rowe’s shot, keeping the ball in field before scoring from the tightest of angles.

Elsewhere, Musselburgh Windsor Under-13s cut Lasswade Thistle’s lead at the top of Division 1 to three points after they enjoyed a 5-1 home win over Salvesen.
