But with the clock ticking down, Eoin Doyle pounced to deny Rovers all three points.

“It’s a disappointing result, a really disappointing result,” Ferguson said.

“Again we’ve thrown away two points right at the death.

“At the moment we’re just not getting the rub of the green, I don’t care what anyone says watching our performances.

“There’s not a great deal I can do to prevent that incident but certainly in the last 15 minutes we didn’t keep the ball well enough.”
