Morton 1-2 Clyde

Feb 10 2008 Kenny Macdonald At Cappielow

MORTON boss Jim McInally is set for the chop after his flops crashed to a last-gasp defeat.

McInally snubbed the post-match press conference after John Brown's men snatched a dramatic late win with two goals in the final three minutes.

It was an hour before Ton No.2 Martin Clark finally emerged from the home dressing-room.

When he did Clark said: "I only want to talk about the match and have been asked to come out here in Jim's absence.

"The bottom line is the results have not been good enough. Even getting a draw would have been a bad result. But to lose two goals and the game is just unbelievable.

"We were the better side but when you look at the papers it's only the result that matters."

While under-pressure McInally was locked in talks with the Ton chairman Douglas Rae, groundsman Mark Farrell had a showdown of his own with Bully Wee players as they warmed down on his pitch.

Farrell confronted Clyde's fitness coach Rab Kielty who calmed him down before the groundsman apologised.

Chris Millar opened the scoring for Morton on the hour.

But the home side were struck by a late goal rush as Ruari MacLennan levelled before Craig McKeown headed home a stoppage-time winner.

MacLennan said: "I'm delighted to score. It has been a long time coming.

"This takes us a point above Morton and that's good because we have not been out of the bottom two for a while.

"I didn't expect us to win and when I came on I thought the manager was just giving me a wee run out.

"But we've got the points and I'm chuffed to bits for the players."

Speaking about the flare-up MacLennan said: "Their groundsman went off his nut and thought we were trying to annoy him but we were just doing the warm down."

Bully Wee gaffer Brown praised his players and said: "We need to show that spirit and character if we are to survive in this league. We had to defend well and all credit to the guys for keeping going right to the end.

"It was a great delivery by Stevie Masterton for Craig's winner."
