Spartans Progress in Scottish Cup

Posted on Monday, December 15th, 2008

Spartans defeated Elgin City in tonight’s rearranged Scottish Cup third round match. Spartans went 1-0 behind in the 5th min from the penalty spot, however goals from Omar Kader and Gavin Malin gave the visitors a 2-1 lead. Elgin were reduced to 10 men in injury time as the game finished 2-1.

The match was replayed due to Elgin fielding an ineligible player. Despite the fact Spartans also played long serving Dean Hoskins as a sub when he hadn’t fully resigned all the correct paperwork, the SFA decided the game would still go ahead.

The victory means Spartans will travel to Airdrie United on January 10th.
