Manager Jamie McKim insists points make prizes after Johnstone Burgh sacrificed their free-flowing style to superbly deal with a heavy downpour.
The Renfrewshire club welcomed Rutherglen Glencairn to an already saturated Keanie Park looking to keep their promotion hopes afloat.
Having decided to play more direct to deal with the heavy pitch, Burgh took a 1-0 lead into the break thanks to Thomas Cruden’s clinical opener.
