LOMOND arrived in Milton for a difficult league fixture against a side they failed to beat last season.
Michael Morris and Woichech Janicki were brought into the starting 11 to play down the flanks, while Malky Muirhead took over in goals.
Neither team settled in the opening stages but Danny Caldwell was unlucky when the keeper made a mess of a pass back, but a defender got in a good block.
The vistors certainly looked out of sorts with poor passing and just never got going.
After 37 minutes the home striker was clearly off side and as Lomond appealed, the ref waved play on and the ball was rolled into the net.
Seconds before half time Janicki should have levelled but the ball rolled just past the post.
After some strong words at half time the players were informed another 45 minutes like the first would not be accepted.
A changed Lomond side had Milton pinned back and against the run of play the homesters made it 2-0.
But Lomond kept them on the back foot and after 65 minutes M.Morris took a corner that sailed over everyone right into the top corner.
Gavin Dales should have made levelled but his weak effort saw the keeper have time to make the save.
Hrdlicka, Christie and S.Farrell were brought on, and after 83 minutes Caldwell blasted the ball high into the net from 16 yards to equalise.
The home side had 2 players sent off late on and Lomond were unlucky in injury time when Caldwell shot just past.
A dire first half, but credit to the players for the effort raised in the second, when they could have left with three points.
