JAMIE Redman ruined Ayr United’s chance of moving clear at the top of League One, with a late Peterhead equaliser in a 1-1 draw at Somerset Park. Nicky Devlin put Ayr in front early in the second half but Redman equalised with just three minutes left.
There was no change to the order of the top half of the table with Ayr keeping their one-point advantage over Dunfermline, who were also held at home, 1-1 by Airdrieonians.
George Hunter opened the scoring after 18 minutes, his shot slipping through Sean Murdoch’s fingers. Michael Moffat eventually headed Dunfermline level after 73 minutes from Andy Geggan’s cross and, for all the home side’s late pressure, they could not find the winner.
Forfar Athletic lost ground when they were beaten 2-1 at home by Stranraer. Mark McGuigan put Stranraer in front after 20 minutes with a composed finish and Chris Aitken made it 2-0 from the spot after 56 minutes when McGuigan was fouled.
Michael Travis pulled a goal back with 13 minutes left but Forfar, who had hit woodwork twice in the first half, could not produce an equalising goal.
Andy Barrowman scored twice with his head as Albion Rovers beat Stenhousemuir 2-0. Stenhousemuir’s Colin McMenamin was shown a straight red card for kicking out at Ross Dunlop.
Brechin City continued their revival with a 2-0 home win over Cowdenbeath. David Bates and Jonathan Tiffoney scored before Robert Buchanan missed a penalty for Cowdenbeath. Cowdenbeath’s Dean Brett then picked up his second yellow card and was sent off.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
