Falkirk 1 - 1 Ross County - McMenamin rescues Ross
Posted Monday, December 26, 2011 by PA
Colin McMenamin's last-gasp strike ensured First Division leaders Ross County claimed a 1-1 draw in their top-of-the-table clash with second-placed Falkirk.
Kieran Duffie's strike 13 minutes from time looked to have settled a tight contest, but McMenamin's effort in the fourth minute of injury time meant the visitors avoided suffering only their second defeat of the season.
Defences were on top in a largely dull first half, although McMenamin's header and Michael Gardyne's close-range strike were well saved by Falkirk goalkeeper Michael McGovern.
After the interval, Falkirk striker David Weatherston headed narrowly wide, while Darren Dods' curled effort went just past the right-hand post.
The hosts did take the lead in the 77th minute when Duffie unleashed a 25-yard strike that flew past County shot-stopper Michael Fraser.
Falkirk were hopeful of cutting the gap at the top of the table to three points, but McMenamin fired into the top corner deep into stoppage time to give his side a share of the spoils.
