Shotts end five-game losing streak with win over Blantyre

Shotts boss John McKeown hopes his side has turned the corner after a thumping 3-1 win over Blantyre Vics in the West of Scotland First Division arrested a run of five straight defeats.

Goals from PJ O’Donnell, Chris Kelly and Kyle Richford gave the Bonny a precious win that leaves them second bottom of the table, but cut the gap on Vics and safety to two points, with three games in hand. Winning even two of those could leave Shotts mid-table.

McKeown said: “It was a good, much-needed victory. We got a good point last Tuesday night away to Drumchapel, [3-3] who are going really well, when we showed a lot of fight and character, and it was the same on Saturday.
