Airdrie goal hero scores goals 'he's not supposed to' beams boss after crucial win

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Airdrie boss Rhys McCabe hailed striker Calum Gallagher for scoring goals 'he's not supposed to' but says his side thoroughly deserved their 2-1 Championship win over Partick Thistle.Goals from Gabby McGill and Calum Gallagher cancelled out James Lyon's first-half strike to keep all three points at New Broomfield.That was no more than the Diamonds deserved, and McCabe was delighted, though nursing a knee injury sustained in a collision with Lyons during the first half that saw him stretchered off.McCabe said: "Gal misses the tap-ins but then scores the goals he's not supposed to!

Missing the chance is fine, but what I can't accept is the mentality that the head goes down, your shoulders slump and you think about it for the rest of the game."I think you saw that, the boys came out and had a positive spin on being 1-0 down at half-time."We responded well and dominated the game."Gabby is such am important player for us, he gets his goal.

He's very awkward to play against, he's very intelligent, he gets his runs, and it's good for him to get 30 minutes under his belt."He will take confidence from that, but it's about building him back up and getting loads back into him in training."McCabe added: "It's a terrific win.

I thought we thoroughly deserved it. Even in the first half, we go down 1-0 and it's hard coming in and critiquing the performance, because we dominated the first and second halves."I told them they need to be more ruthless in both boxes, coming up at this level against an experienced side like Partick Thistle, but luckily we created a good amount."I thought in the main we responded well, dominated the ball, controlled the tempo of the game."Follow Lanarkshire Live Sport onTwitter via@LanLiveSport, like us onFac
