Glen Taylor and Danny Elliott had traded second half penalties as the match was seemingly heading for an opening day stalemate.

However, Scott McLean broke through for the Moors in the 88th minute and finished with aplomb to spark jubilant scenes from the 104-strong travelling contingent, within the bumper overall crowd of 1,852.
