Rutherglen Glencairn No.2 Joe Pryce says asking the team to step up the tempo in their South Challenge Cup first round tie against Finnart resulted in a six-minute hat-trick for Jack McIlveen in a 4-0 win.
But he also praised debut keeper Scott Law, who made some key saves to keep the sides at 1-0 at the interval, thanks to Mick O’Byrne’s opener, and earned man of the match.
It was then down to McIlveen, who struck in the 48th, 49th and 54th minutes to put Glencairn through to the second round for the first time in three attempts.
