Livingston's title on hold after unexpected defeat at Annan

Annan Athletic 2 Livingston 0

LIVINGSTON will have to wait a little longer to lift the Third Division title as they fell to a surprising 2-0 defeat at Annan.

The hosts took a shock lead after four minutes when David Cox's cross found Graeme Bell who headed home from close range.

Midway through the second half, the visitors were dealt another blow when Cameron MacDonald was ordered off for a second booking.

Annan made sure of an impressive victory when Phil Storey added a second with seven minutes remaining.

Forfar Athletic 2 Berwick Rangers 0

FORFAR Athletic kept their wafer thin promotion hopes alive with a 2-0 win over Berwick at Station Park.

Experienced midfielder Barry Sellars fired Forfar in front after only nine minutes, his ninth goal of a productive season. The in-form Ross Campbell doubled the Loons' advantage on the hour mark.

The visitors had Andrew McLean sent off late on to compound their miserable day.

East Stirling 3 Albion Rovers 1

EAST Stirling now trail Livingston by ten points after a 3-1 victory against Albion Rovers. Simon Lynch fired the hosts ahead in the 13th minute only for Marc McCusker to equalise on the half-hour mark.

But Jamie Stevenson restored Shire's advantage shortly before the interval and Lynch added his second in the 57th minute.

Queen's Park 3 Montrose 0

A BARRY Douglas penalty and further goals from Martin McBride and David Murray helped Queen's Park to a comfortable 3-0 victory over Montrose.

Elgin City 1 Stranraer 2

A SECOND-HALF double from Armand One gave Stranraer a spirited 2-1 win at Elgin.

The hosts had led through a Jason Crooks' 37th minute goal before capitulating in the second period.
