The draw means the Comrades, who had the chance to go top of the table back in October, have only picked up 11 points from their last 17 league games.

Speaking to the club’s media team after Saturday’s clash, Harbinson had issued a rallying call to supporters.

He said: “Stick with us. I know the numbers are dwindling because you’re bound to be fed up. I am so frustrated and I’m gutted every week because in spells you can see the quality that’s there.

“You look at our squad and we’ve such a quality squad of footballers and we show in bits that we can play in such positive ways, but unfortunately when it falls apart, it falls apart.”
