Edinburgh clinch battle of the universities
Mark Tait somehow managed to scoop Michael Connor's shot over the bar for a corner from which Andy Forbes headed just over. Then a superb run and cross by Forbes led to a penalty when Ricky Burke was tripped, but Tait dived to his left to make a fine save from Connor's kick.
Ten minutes from half-time a determined run on the right by Colin Cameron brought a free kick near the corner flag. When the ball was played away from the near post area, Gordon Milne was on hand to score with a shot which was deflected past John Falconer.
