Albion Rovers midfielder Michael Paton: Any other season we'd have stayed up, it's the worst feeling in the world

Albion Rovers midfielder Michael Paton admits their relegation from League Two is down to a lack of consistency but reckons in any other season they would have stayed up.

The Wee Rovers recorded the same points tally that earned them an eighth place finish last season, but this time 39 points was not enough to stop them finishing bottom of the pile in 10th and, ultimately, set them up for the pyramid play-off final defeat to Spartans.

No team has ever finished bottom with that amount of points in the SFL/SPFL era, which dates back to 1994/95 season, but Rovers have paid the penalty with Blair Henderson's spot-kick for Spartans sending them down to the Lowland League.
