Gary Mason Post Morton

Gary Mason marks his Pars debut second time around with a match winning strike at Cappielow.

Gary Mason v Morton

Gary Mason enjoyed his Pars debut second time around and celebrated it by scoring the winning goal in 77th minute. It was of course the 31 year old's 244th appearance for the Pars and his 14th goal for the club.

"It was a nice way to finish the game, but the victory was the most important thing and three points with a lot of games coming up. Bell did really well to keep the ball in up there on the right. He cut it back to Ross (Campbell) who laid it off to me so obviously I am delighted.

"It seemed to an age to actually come to me and I managed to get a good strike on to it as the keeper was getting back into his goals at that time."

Gary's goal - his first since he scored the winner in a 2-1 win over Dundee United on 18th November 2006 - clinched a fine and much deserved victory:-

"We went a goal behind probably against the run of play because we had started the second half quite well and for the first 30 minutes of the first half we had dominated the game. It was a good free kick in from the boy that they scored from but it shows good character to come back and win from a goal behind.

"The boys at the back were magnificent and Bell just took off and it just shows you how willing he is to do that. The goal came about from that."

 The Pars are relatively well off for midfielders so Gary had accepted that it might take some time for him to break into the team:-

"I had to try and be patient. There are a lot of good midfielders here, not everyone is going to play so you have to be patient more than anything and wait on my time to come. By getting that good victory hopefully that gives the Manager something to think about.

"Scott Muirhead and Greg Ross are the only players remaining from those I left in 2007. There are a lot of different faces and quite a young squad as well but it is good when you have that many options with two or three people vying for places.

"We are trying to get up the table, we will not get carried away with ourselves and will take it game by game since there are still a lot of points to play for. That starts on Tuesday again against Raith and we can expect a hard game."
