The bus broke down on the M62 and the squad had to stand at the side of the road for 25 minutes waiting for a replacement to arrive.
They made it to the Toughsheet Stadium over an hour later than scheduled but arrived just in time for the team sheets.
McCann hailed his players for refusing to make it an excuse and still managing to deliver a resilient performance against the Whites.
“Some top performances from the boys, and all with the disrupting travel that we’ve had again because of the bus breaking down and having to stand on the M62 for 25 minutes, waiting for another bus. So really good character from the players,” he said.
The manager added: “We got to pre-match but we were well over an hour too late, so it was tough for the players to eat too close to the game. We came here on a Vengabus, I think! It was like a coach trip.
“To be honest, the boys can use that as an excuse – the travel, players eating cold lasagnas on the coach!
“But the main thing is we always carry food on the coach anyway so they could eat something on the coach. Then, particularly the starters and the lads who were coming on for the game, could eat at the hotel.
“So, not ideal. We were rushed here, we got here just in time for the team sheets. We were very close to maybe asking for a later kick-off but well done to the driver getting us here.”
On the pitch, McCann was fully aware of Wanderers’ strong home record and praised his players for securing another valuable point towards safety.
“They’re top teams,” he insisted. “I said to the players in there, we shouldn’t even be on the pitch with teams like this, given what they’re paying their players.
“I said to the lads, that’s what you can do when you’ve got a real togetherness and belief that, yes I’m as good as these players, I can step up. And I thought there were some top performances.”
