IN the swirling wind and the relentless rain, there were a few passages of play that had you wondering what the point of all this was.
One saw a succession of goal kicks land closer to Derek Gaston’s own byline than the halfway line, such was the ferociousness of the gale he was trying to wade into. Another had a hapless Arbroath player chasing a ball that would just not stay on its spot. Then a flurry of passes went 30 yards astray, and all but the hardiest of souls were wishing they’d taken up an indoor sport instead.
There were, though, a few moments that really mattered. Most of all Sean McGinty’s equaliser, which cancelled out Yasin Ben El-Mhanni’s potential winner and, however marginally, clawed back some ground on league-leading Queen’s Park.
