EXPLAINED: Bathgate thistle bounce back from heavy defeat with derby win over west calder united | Rare Historical Photos

Bathgate Thistle shook off the knocks of a heavy loss to Bo’ness Athletic to pick up a 2-1 home victory against an in-form West Calder United at Creamery Park, writes Kieran Polland.

A late first-half goal from Ally McInnes opened the scoring for the hosts and Aidan Gibb appeared to have wrapped up all three points for Thistle in the second-half, before late drama occurred after James Miller dispatched a penalty for West Calder in stoppage time.

Thistle were able to hold on to their lead and bounce back in style from last week’s disappointing 12-0 reverse to free-scoring East of Scotland Division Three leaders Bo’ness Athletic.
