Smart move grabs point

The visitors took a deserved lead in the 28th minute. Craig Smart slid a pass through to Chris Seeley and he beat Steven Pinkowski to the ball and squeezed a shot into the net.

The visitors' Darrin Wright received two yellow cards in quick succession to reduce his team to ten men in the 65th minute.

Rose then struck twice in four minutes. David Brown drove home following a lay-off by John Ward, then MacLennan bundled Stuart McArthur's cross into the net.
