Arbroath assistant Ian Campbell praises hero keeper Derek Gaston and says ‘that penalty will be good to watch on TV’

Ian Campbell heaped the praise on penalty hero Derek Gaston as the Arbroath keeper helped his side claim a crucial point at Gayfield.

Gaston blocked from Ali Crawford as Morton seemed set to get their first win over Lichties in 12 attempts.

But Gaston made a double block from Crawford to ensure Arbroath came off the bottom of the Championship.

Sean Adarkwa had levelled after a George Oakley opener but Gaston was the main man for Lichties.

“It was a great save from Derek,” said Campbell.

“It was so important for us and it’s one I’m looking forward to watching again on TV.

“There’s a positive belief within the group again and a great camaraderie and it’s definitely a point gained.

“We wanted three but we’ll take one after that.

“I’m disappointed with how we played but we got away with a point and we move onto the next game.”

Arbroath go ahead of Hamilton on goal difference, at least for 24 hours, and move to within a point of eighth placed Cove Rangers.

Accies will face Ayr United on Saturday while Cove travel to Raith Rovers.
