Rutherglen Glencairn fitness gamble pays off in Junior Cup win over Gartcairn

Rutherglen Glencairn boss Willie Harvey says his gamble to field players who weren’t fully fit paid off after they edged out Gartcairn 2-1 to reach the quarter-finals of the Junior Cup.

Anthony Maguire, Dom Cunningham, Mick O’Byrne and Jack McIlveen all featured despite not being fully fit – and McIlveen hit what proved to be the winning goal from the penalty spot, after Harry Mitchell’s thumping strike had given them a third minute lead.

McIlveen’s spot-kick had Glens 2-0 up at half-time before Reegan Aitken pulled one back for Gartcairn in the second half.
