Celtic clash penalty miss has Albion Rovers star off spot kicks as run comes to an end

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Albion Rovers boss Sandy Clark admits he will be taking Niyah Joseph off the club’s penalties for the time being after the striker missed from spot for the second time this season in their defeat to Celtic B.The Cliftonhill side had been on a five-game winning streak in all competitions until Saturday’s Lowland League clash ended in a 2-1 defeat.Rovers had the chance right at the death to earn a point when Sean Fagan was fouled in the box, but Joseph hit the post with his spot-kick to leave them 13th in the table with three games in hand over most of their rivals.And Clark said: “Niyah has missed two penalties now so we will have a chat about who is going to take the next one.“He is a talented player and he should be scoring penalties, he knows that, but that’s not the way the world works in football.“The best players in the world miss penalties as well.“But, it’s about psychologically for the next one we get, so we will have a chat about that and we will pass it somewhere else.”On the match itself, which saw Joe Bevan score for Rovers either side of Rocco Vata and MacKenzie Carse netting for the Hoops, Clark added: “Would a draw have been fair?

Probably. But on the day we just weren’t clinical enough, that was my biggest criticism.“In terms of effort, organisation and the way the lads worked, I have got no complaint whatsoever.“Anyone who was at the game would have been entertained, that’s for sure, but it was a frustrating one for us.“Celtic have got very talented young players and play a certain way, and if you don’t try to tactically do the right things against them, they will cut you open.“It could have easily been a 6-6 game.
