Scott McGleish spared Leyton Orient's FA Cup second-round blushes at non-league Droylsden with a second-half equaliser to earn a 1-1 draw.
The veteran hitman levelled Monday night's tie at the Butcher's Arms Ground 17 minutes from time after Ciaran Kilheeney had given the Bloods a deserved half-time lead. Droylsden flew out of the traps and could have been two goals up in the first ten minutes with Alex Brown flashing a 25-yarder wide and the lively Kilheeney shooting straight at on-loan Blackburn goalkeeper Jason Brown. Jimmy Smith then fired wide for the League One side but the home team hit the front in the 24th minute when Kilheeney found space in the box to head home Liam Brownhill's free-kick. It was all one-way traffic after the break though with Aaron Brown and Terrell Forbes both wasting glorious chances. But the pressure finally told when Dean Cox's cross from the right found McGleish to head goalwards with Paul Phillips and the post unable to keep the ball out.
