Gartcairn gaffer Mick Dunlop hailed unlikely hero Kevin Nicol after the midfielder scored twice in two games to take the Airdrie side two points clear at the top of the West of Scotland First Division.Nicol netted in last Wednesday’s 1-0 win at Blantyre Vics and then bagged the opener in Saturday’s 2-0 win at Thorniewood United, before Jordan Love’s goal, to have Cairn sitting pretty at the summit, two points clear of Benburb with two games in hand.Dunlop said: “It’s strange for big Kev.
He’s not renowned for goal scoring but his goal in the first half settled us down.“It’s a great delivery from a corner and the big man has attacked it really well.“His two goals in the last two games have been very big for us and long may it continue with five games to go.“It was another professional performance.
We scored two good goals and to keep another clean sheet is pleasing.“We kept one at Blantyre on Wednesday night, which is a difficult place to go, and then another one here so that’s good.“Overall, I’m delighted to follow up Wednesday’s win with another three points.”The MTC Park side can strengthen their grip on top spot this week when they play one of their games in hand against Drumchapel tonight (Wednesday) and then travel to Johnstone Burgh on Saturday.Dunlop added: “We can concentrate on the Drumchapel game now.“We played them a couple of weeks ago in the cup (a 1-0 defeat in the South Challenge Cup semi-final) and it is one we are really looking forward to.“We will go and try to win the game.”Follow Lanarkshire Live Sport onTwitter via@LanLiveSport, like us onFacebookor find us onInstagramfor the latest sports news, pictures and video.
