LEAGUE ONE

-

SCOTTISH League One leaders Falkirk returned to winning ways with a 2-1 victory over Clyde.

Ben Hall’s ninth- minute opener was added to by Aidan Keena’s first league goal for the club in the 68th minute as the hosts secured a first win in four games in all competitio­ns.

Joshua Jack pulled one back with six minutes remaining but Clyde’s first defeat in three left them a point above the relegation play- off spot.

Falkirk’s advantage to second place remained at three points as Cove Rangers saw off struggling Dumbarton 1-0. Rory McAllister struck nine minutes into the second half and his seventh goal of the season was enough to earn the points.

Montrose let slip a t wo- goal lead and fell seven points off the pace after drawing 2-2 at Airdrie.

The hosts were 2-0 up at half time after Cammy Ballantyne’s 30th- minute opener and Sean Crighton’s stoppage-time own goal.

But an own goal from Russell McLean in the 51st minute and another from Aaron Lennox deep into added time gifted a point to Airdrieoni­ans.

Partick Thistle climbed above both teams into third with a 3-0 win at Peterhead Goals from Joe Cardle, Scott Tiffoney and Brian Graham earned Thistle a first win in three league games.

East Fife are level on points with Thistle and Montrose after goals in each half from Ryan Wallace and Kevin Smith earned a 2-1 win at Forfar.

Jordan Allan had equalised early in the second half for Forfar, who had Barnard Coll sent off for a second booking and remain five points adrift at the bottom.
