Rangers supporters boo team during Elgin City draw We were trying to entertain the fans but we didn't do that. We didn't create much and didn't look like scoring any goals. We should have had it wrapped up before the end and we only have ourselves to blame. We have been on a good run and we are disappointed that has come to an end but we really should have taken our chances and killed the game earlier. There were two sides to the story, of course, and Elgin deserve great credit for sticking to their task - and playing some decent football - even after Paul Harkins was shown a straight red card for a challenge on Ian Black that was, by general consent, worthy of a caution at worst. Joe Malin denied Little with an outstanding save in the later stages and Elgin made the most of their reprieve with three minutes remaining when a Jamie Duff free-kick - which appeared to be helped on by Stewart Leslie - confounded Neil Alexander, who let the ball squirm across the line. Duff claimed the goal, not that Alexander is likely to contest it. At the other end of the field Malin was entitled to reflect on the vagaries of football. The Elgin keeper was released by Ross County last month and is officially on loan to Elgin, and while he relished the experience of playing in front of such a crowd, he must also consider the need to supplement his earnings from activity outside football. "It's just a hard transition just now, going from full-time to part-time, so obviously it's something I'll need to look at, getting a job somewhere along the line," said the 24 year-old. I was eight and a half years with Ross County. I was on the bench at Hampden for the Scottish Cup semi-final against Celtic and the final against Dundee United. This is all night and day for me. It was a great experience for us when we beat Celtic in the semi-final and then even being on the bench for the Scottish Cup final but nothing compares with this for me - being in the thick of the action and deserving a result like this. We worked really hard for it, so it's much more pleasing actually being part of the team. We took a lot from the first half. We defended well and they didn't really break us down much. The manager just drummed it into us to keep on believing and keep working hard. We felt if the 10 of us could defend as well as we could, we could still get one chance in the game because we're a good counter attacking team. Thankfully we managed to put the ball in the net in the closing stages and then defend well for the last few minutes. And of his point blank stop from Little, Malin said, without false modesty: "It was a good save, wasn't it? Jamie Duff was right in front of me so I couldn't really see it but he too managed to get a touch on it and between the two of us we managed to keep the ball out of the net. It doesn't matter how you save it, you're better being lucky than good.
