Cove Rangers 1-0 Dumbarton - Ghost goal costs the Sons at title chasing Cove
Join thousands of fans who have signed up to our Rangers newsletter.A questionable refereeing decision cost Dumbarton dear, as the Sons lost out to high-flying Cove Rangers on their first ever visit to the Balmoral Stadium.Rory McAllister’s second-half strike was cleared off the line by Dumbarton defender Sam Wardrop, only for referee David Lowe to award a goal - much to fury of those in white and black.It proved a decisive moment in a cagey tie, with Sons boss Jim Duffy left bemoaning his team’s luck.The gaffer said: “We’ve defended really well throughout the game, but I can’t really credit the players enough for their desire, determination and work ethic.“It’s unlike us to lose a goal from a straightforward set-piece.
