Spartans show their mettle again to earn share of the spoils
Spartans fought back for a second time in seven days to earn a share of the spoils, this time at home to Clyde.
It finished 3-3 at the Vanloq Community Stadium against the Bully Wee, just as it did when Elgin City were the visitors to the Capital last Saturday on League Two duty.
The visitors found themselves three to the good after 58 minutes, a brace from Scott Williamson - one from the penalty spot - and a Kyle William effort. However, Clyde were reduced to ten men when Logan Dunachie was given his marching orders and Spartans capitalised on their numerical advantage.
Ricardo Dinanga, Matt Mudie, and Ayrton Sonkur all scored inside the last 20 minutes to claim a point.
Mudie said afterwards: "Once they got the red card you could see the boys were up for it. It kicked us on and I thought we did well. We made a few changes and that brought a bit more spark to the team. Ricardo did well when he came on.
“But that's been the problem so far this season conceding first, which we need to cut out. Hopefully if we score first we can dominate the game because when we fall behind, we maybe get that momentum but it's too late to get the winner."
Meanwhile, Edinburgh City drew 1-1 with Forfar on Friday night, a result that takes them off the foot of the division on goal difference.
Jordan McGregor cancelled out Scott Shepherd's effort with City's Keir Foster then seeing his late penalty saved.
Manager Michael McIndoe said: "I'm disappointed not to take all three points. We had enough chances to win two or three games - we missed a penalty, had five cleared off the line, but overall we have to be really proud of the players with their energy, the effort, and desire, we can't take that away from them. It was just putting the ball in the back of the net.
"We can't be disappointed with four wins and a draw in our last five games. We played three games in six days last week and we've got five or six lads who are coming back as well. So, overall it's really positive but we just know we should have taken all three points against Forfar."
