STUNNING STRIKES FOR SCRAPBOOK

-

Cove Rangers have secured promotion to the Championsh­ip and along the way, scored some pretty special goals.

Paul Hartley takes great pride in the style of football at Cove, which has been built up over the course of three years.

It has helped create some pretty memorable goals and below is a collection of some of the best from their League One title-winning season.

Rory McAllister v Montrose, September 11

Rory McAllister went on a goalscorin­g run at the start of the season, earning the October Player of the Month award in the process. Against Montrose he finished off a wonderful team move with a crashing finish off the underside of the crossbar.

Mitch Megginson v Queen’s Park, October 30

This game was certainly one for the neutrals as two of the league’s top sides went head-to-head.

Mitch Megginson got on the end of a splendid team move here to level the scores at 2-2.

Morgyn Neill v Falkirk, December 11

The big centre-half is an establishe­d threat at set-pieces but few would expect him to be a goal threat from 30 yards.

You can factor the Falkirk defence into that equation too, as they stood off him and could only watch as the Cove defender picked out the top corner from 30 yards.

Harry Milne v Airdrieoni­ans, February 5

A goal which evidenced what Cove are all about. A tidy passing move from the back capped off with a great driving run and finish from Harry Milne.

Fraser Fyvie v Clyde, March 12

With Cove down to 10 men early following Milne’s dubious red card, there was potential for a surprise at the Balmoral Stadium.

Fyvie’s well-taken strike from the edge of the box ensured they went into the break ahead in a game they went on to win 4-1.

Fraser Fyvie v Airdrieoni­ans, March 26

You might be detecting a theme here with Fraser Fyvie and important goals.

This one was arguably the most decisive, coming in stoppage-time against title rivals Airdrieoni­ans when it appeared Cove were heading for defeat.

An outstandin­g strike sparked wild celebratio­ns on the touchline.
