A roundup of the weekend’s second division fixtures

Airdrie United 0 - 3 Stenhousemuir

Stirling Albion 2 - 3 Brechin City

Mark Ferry put Stirling ahead after 33 minutes but then scored an own goal to level the match. Stirling went back in front when Paul McLean too put through his own net. But Bryan Hodge equalised in 83 minutes and four minutes later Rory McKenzie got the winner for Brechin.

Dumbarton 1 - 0 Albion Rovers

Both sides had chances in a goalless first half – Scott Chaplain shooting just wide for Albion before Alan Lithgow headed just over at the other end. Bryan Prunty scored the decisive goal after 61 minutes from Scott Agnew’s pass to give Dumbarton victory.

East Fife 4 - 0 Forfar Athletic

East Fife coasted to an easy win. Robert Sloan put them ahead with an 11th-minute penalty and then struck again with a left-foot shot four minutes later. Sloan then turned provider after 36 minutes when his cross was headed home by Steve Hislop and Ryan Wallace made it four.

Arbroath 1 - 1 Cowdenbeath

Arbroath went ahead three minutes from the break, new signing Chris Innes scoring from close range after Gavin Swankie had provided the cross. Marc McKenzie equalised after an hour after Jon Robertson set him up but Cowdenbeath had Scott Linton sent off in 73 minutes.
