The Team Talk
Jim Goodwin made two changes from Wednesday night as Kristijan Trapanovski and David Babunski were called upon from the start.
They replaced Kai Fotheringham and Allan Campbell as we again shuffled the pack.
Sam Cleall-Harding was our sole Academy graduate after notching his first goal for his boyhood club against Rangers.
A Frantic Opening
There were a couple of early scares inside the opening ten as Pape Gueye forced David Richards into an excellent save to prevent the opener, before Jamie McGrath’s cross-cum-shot clipped the bar. Declan Gallagher was then perfectly positioned to clear off the line and avert the danger.
As we cantered up the other end, Glenn Middleton's cross almost caught out Dimitar Mitov who had to parry it behind for a United corner to which Gallagher's header looped up and over.
Falling Behind
The visitors had the lead just after a quarter of an hour as he ball flashed across the face of goal for Kebin Nisbet, whose effort was brilliantly saved by Richards. However, it eventually broke loose and was squared to Jeppe Okkels, who couldn’t miss from four yards.

Back out with work to do
Trapanovski almost tied things up with a glorious chance straight after the restart. A bursting run from Will Ferry found our number seven at the back post but his downward header bounced up and over the bar.
