Jack Murray secures a point for unbeaten Elgin against Spartans

Defender Jack Murray preserved Elgin City’s unbeaten start to the William Hill League Two campaign with the equaliser in a 1-1 draw with Spartans.

Lyall Booth fired over the hosts with a 10th-minute attempt and Brian Cameron forced a save from Spartans keeper Blair Carswell before the break  at Borough Briggs.
