League One round-up: Alloa and Airdrie blow their chance
Alloa Athletic dominated Peterhead at the Indodrill Stadium but lost 1-0 against opponents who had to play for the final 14 minutes short-handed after goalscorer Leighton McIntosh was sent off.
McIntosh picked up two quick yellow cards to blot his copybook after scoring the only goal of the game four minutes into the second half. He started and finished on the bench after replacing top scorer Rory McAllister late in the first half.
