| Comments | Match Report Report from the Daily Record. Dumbarton 0 Ross County 0 Boghead lived up to its name as Dumbarton and Ross County fired blanks in the Son's first home game for six weeks. And County Boss Neale Cooper--who had John McGlashan sent off for a bad challenge--branded the pitch "a total nightmare". He fears Ross's Scottish cup tie with Clydebank on Wednesday, one of four games there this week, could be called off. He said: "Some areas of the pitch were shocking. I can't see so many games going ahead." Nicky Walker denied Dumbarton with a string of saves, while Mark Haro shot just past the Sons' post. Sons boss Ian Wallace played down reports he was going to Nottingham Forest, but said: "I'd be interested in job at any club." |
