A new misery was heaped on them last night. Just when they were closing in on a proud result, having put in an exhausting shift to take themselves within minutes of an admirable goalless draw, they were undone by an own goal. Andy Webster could not remove himself from the path of a firm Martin Kelly cross into the goalmouth and the ball flashed off him into Jamie MacDonald's net. As the stadium's public address announcer said, when mournfully detailing the strike, "you couldn't make it up".
