WITH leaders Livingston's game against Albion Rovers rained off, Berwick Rangers had the opportunity to go to the top of the table but failed to take it as they were held 1-1 by visiting Queen's Park.

The Glasgow side went ahead after only seven minutes when full back Robert Walker's cross was turned into his own net by defender Graham Guy. Berwick centre back Andy McLean ghosted in to meet a Stuart Callaghan free-kick and head home a leveller just five minutes later.

Berwick manager Jimmy Crease said: "We had chance after chance near the end of the game but showed a lack of composure or were over-anxious. It was a below-par performance."

East Stirling's mini-slump of three defeats in a row ended when they saw off Forfar 2-1 to jump into third place thanks to first-half goals from Andy Rodgers and Simon Lynch.

Elgin defeated Annan Athletic 2-0 at Galabank, where David Niven headed in just after half-time, and Kyle McAulay wrapped things up after the home side's Peter Watson was dismissed for picking up a second yellow card.

Montrose drew 1-1 at Links Park with Stranraer. Midfield player Sean Anderson opened the scoring for Steven Tweed's men on 55 minutes, when he headed in only for Michael Moore to level eight minutes later with a well-struck shot.
