Rutherglen Glencairn boss Joe Pryce says Rossvale's two late goals take the shine off today's 3-2 West of Scotland League Premier Division win, but admits he would have taken that score-line ahead of the clash at the Hamish B. Allan Stadium.
Goals from Keirin Coleman, Michael Lone and Drew Wingate had Glens seemingly cruising to three points on the 70th minute mark, but a late double from Hugh Kerr had the hosts on the ropes as Rossvale went in search of a leveller.
After last week's dramatic 3-3 draw at Beith, Pryce says Glens should have been well aware of late goals.
He said: "We thought we were home and dry in 70 minutes.
"The second-half performance was much better than the first. The first was a wee bit slack, but in the second half the boys came out, did very well, deservedly were 3-0 up and could have had more.
"The two late goals take a wee bit of the shine off it. If there's a team that should know about late goals it should be us, after last week!
"But it's still a massive three points for us and if you had offered 3-2 before the game, I'd have bit your hand off.
"I told the players I'm absolutely delighted with them, don't let the last five minutes take the shine off the second-half performance - they were excellent."
The win moves Glens five points clear of their opponents, but Pryce says his side need to make sure they're on it every single week if they are to climb further away from the drop-zone.
He said: "Every point is a prisoner in this league and it's not just Rossvale we've got to keep above - there are other teams in there who are going to push us all the way.
"Every point is crucial, and that's a massive three points for us today, so I'm absolutely delighted with it."
