Although Ciaran Nisbet fired Tweedmouth Rangers ahead in their local derby clash with Coldstream in front of a crowd of 259 at MKM Shielfield, the visitors hit back twice to take the three points.

An official at the East of Scotland Second Division side said the club had been boosted by such a large turnout.

“The match attendance is certainly a massive positive on the back of a defeat,” they said.

“259 in total is a number that many clubs at this level could only dream of, we’d love it every week but in reality, we have to take them when they come.”
