Stranraer 2-2 Montrose- Report

Last updated : 12 February 2011 By DSG

Stranraer slipped out of the automatic promotion places after a 2-2 draw with strugglers Montrose at Stair Park.

Connor Thompson opened the scoring for the away side seven minutes in, as he steered the ball home from Hugh Davidson's pass.

But the Blues were level five minutes later when Craig Malcolm's left-foot strike flew past Sandy Wood in the Montrose goal.

Both sides pushed for a winner as game came to a close and Montrose regained the lead through substitiute Daryl Nicol's strike from six yards with 20 minutes remaining.

However, Keith Knox had made an inspired substitution of his own as Sean Winter levelled the scores just four minutes later to deny Montrose a crucial three points.

The result sees Stranraer fall one place to third in the Scottish Third Division, four points adrift of league leaders Arbroath.
