Naysmith made a triple substitution on the hour and Stirling made an impact 11 minutes later, curling a superb shot into the top corner from outside the box.

Lyle then lobbed Neil Alexander with a sublime effort in the 81st minute.

However, the visitors were denied the chance to climb to the Championship summit after Livingston substitute Mackin stabbed in from close range.
