Linlithgow Rose’s title party is on hold after they fell just six minutes short of being crowned East of Scotland Premier Division champions.
A dramatic Tuesday evening in the sixth tier saw the Rose ease to a 3-0 home win over Tynecastle, despite a performance that was far from their flowing best.
They went into the fixture knowing that a win – coupled with Sauchie dropping points away to Penicuik Athletic – would see them crowned champions in front of their own fans at Prestonfield.
