      Montrose draw with struggling Cowdenbeath while Peterhead hit seven past Elgin

      Montrose's lead at the top of Ladbrokes League Two has been cut to one point following their 1-1 draw with basement side Cowdenbeath. Gary Fraser opened the scoring for the leaders in the 68th minute before Robbie Buchanan equalised 10 minutes from time.Peterhead improved their goal difference with a 7-0 win at home to Elgin to keep the pressure on Montrose.Rory McAllister made it 10 goals in his last nine games with the opener in the 27th minute before Jordon Brown doubled the home side's advantage nine minutes after half-time.Further goals from Nick Riley, Jamie Stevenson (2), Mason Robertson and Russell McLean wrapped up the scoring for the Blue Toon.Edinburgh City beat Berwick 3-0 thanks to Ashley Grimes' opener and two from Scott Shepherd. Two goals at the start of the second half from Jimmy Scott and Ross Meechan enabled Stenhousemuir to open up a five-point gap on Stirling, who scored a late consolation in the 2-1 defeat through Darren Smith. Annan had Jack Brannan sent off in the seventh minute at Clyde but managed to secure a point following a 0-0 draw. Clyde had Kevin Nicoll sent off four minutes from time.

        Gavin Swankie double helps Forfar on their way to League 1 play-off final

        Gavin Swankie scored twice to send Forfar into the Ladbrokes League 1 play-off final against Peterhead after a 4-2 win over Annan and 6-4 aggregate victory. The hosts took a 12th minute lead when breaking from an Annan corner and Martyn Fotheringham played in Swankie to fire home from 12 yards.And it was two goals in the space of five minutes shortly before the interval that effectively decided the tie.Danny Denholm drilled home in the 32nd minute before Swankie found the top left-hand corner to put the hosts into a comfortable 3-0 lead.Aidan Smith pulled one back five minutes after the break, having picked himself up after being fouled by Grant Adam to slot home from from the spot.Darren Ramsay then gave Annan hope with 23 minutes remaining as his left-footed effort nestled in the bottom corner of the net.But Jamie Bain settled it five minutes later, turning the ball home when Swankie picked him out.

          Forfar fight back from two goals down to secure play-off draw at Annan

          Forfar struck back with two late goals to remain in with a chance of promotion after a 2-2 Scottish League One play-off first-leg draw against Annan at Galabank.The home side got off to a flying start and were two goals to the good within 16 minutes.Peter Weatherson headed home Aidan Smith's cross at the near post to hand the Black and Golds the lead after just four minutes.The provider turned scorer 12 minutes later, after Forfar goalkeeper Grant Adam brought the Queen of the South loanee down in the penalty box - Smith's spot-kick was saved but the 19-year-old fired home the rebound to double the lead.The visitors fought back with two goals late on, though.Michael Travis pulled one back with a close-range header after 81 minutes and, moments later, Martyn Fotheringham equalised by firing a free-kick into the top-right corner to leave it level ahead of Saturday's return leg at Station Park.

            Abroath leave it late to sink Cowdenbeath

            Second-half goals from Josh Skelly and Steven Doris saw Arbroath narrow the gap on Scottish League Two leaders Forfar to four points with a 2-0 win at Cowdenbeath.The visitors needed 74 minutes to break the deadlock against their rock-bottom hosts, who are now two points adrift at the bottom and in danger of facing a relegation play-off.Skelly stroked home the opener from the middle of the box Doris made sure of the points three minutes later when he converted a Skelly set-piece.Struggling Stirling boosted their own survival prospects with a 2-2 draw at Montrose despite the injury time dismissal of Angus Beith.An early own goal from Andrew Steeves gave Stirling the lead before Terry Masson and Gary Fraser responded to give Montrose the lead.Ross Smith headed an equaliser for the visitors 11 minutes from time before Beith was red-carded for foul and abusive language.Annan bounced back from two straight defeats as they cruised to a 3-1 win over Berwick at Galabank.David McKenna's fifth-minute opener was immediately cancelled out by Patrick Scullion for the visitors, but further first-half goals from Peter Watson and Robin Omar sealed Annan's win.

              Rangers 2-0 Annan Athletic

              Joey Barton made his long-awaited Rangers debut as the Ibrox side claimed a 2-0 Betfred Cup win over Annan at Ibrox.Mark Warburton gave the former England midfielder the last half an hour of the Group F clash and got an insight into what he is capable of with his energy and tenacity.However, the highlight of an otherwise low-key opening home fixture was Barrie McKay's sensational long-range opener after 30 minutes. Martyn Waghorn killed off Jim Chapman's side with the second goal 15 minutes from time.As well as Barton's second-half run-out, the Ibrox faithful got a first glimpse of fellow summer signings Matt Gilks, Clint Hill and Lee Hodson, while Josh Windass and Niko Kranjcar also started following their debuts in Saturday's 2-0 win over Motherwell.However, Joe Dodoo's arrival from Leicester on a four-year deal earlier on Tuesday came too late for the striker to feature against the League Two minnows.Having got off to a slow start against Well, Gers were hoping to make more of an impact this time. Michael O'Halloran and Windass looked lively down the flanks, while Kranjcar's quality in midfield was obvious.But while Rangers had almost sole use of the ball it took them half an hour to find the breakthrough.It was worth the wait though as McKay produced a strike even sweeter than one he netted against Celtic last season as he fizzed the strike past Blair Currie.Cutting in from the left, the Scotland winger unleashed an unstoppable 25-yard drive which the Annan goalkeeper had no chance of keeping out.Currie had done better with two efforts from Hodson, though, first parrying the former Kilmarnock full-back's header from point-blank range before pushing away a long-range shot.A slick combination move involving McKay, Waghorn and Lee Wallace should have produced a second goal early in the second half but the Ibrox skipper prodded his shot wide, while Kranjcar was denied by Currie's finger-tip save.That was the Croatian's last involvement as Barton was introduced on the hour to a deafening cheer from the 31,500-strong crowd. He almost made himself an instant hero with just his second touch, whipping a 20-yard free-kick just wide of the target.Fellow substitute Kenny Miller was foiled by another Currie save soon after but Waghorn was not to be halted as he followed up his weekend Fir Park strike with another composed finish after Hodson rolled the ball in behind the Annan defence. ends

                Annan drop out of top four after defeat at Stirling

                Stirling put a dent in Annan Athletic's Scottish League Two play-off chances with a 2-1 victory at the Forthbank Stadium.The hosts went ahead after only seven minutes when Sean Dickson released Steven Doris, who in turn picked out Moses Olanrewaju to convert a low finish from inside the penalty area.Veteran striker Peter Weatherson spurned Annan's best first-half chances, twice heading off target and seeing a shot well saved by goalkeeper Cameron Binnie.David Verlaque's effort from a corner was hacked clear by Matt Flynn on the line as the home side pressed for a second after the break, and they wrapped up the points 14 minutes from time when youngster Ross Kavanagh bagged his first goal for the club after another Doris assist.Josh Todd scored late on for the visitors but it was no more than a consolation as they dropped out of the top four.

                  Max Wright scores and then sees red as East Stirling win at Annan

                  Annan slipped to fourth place in Ladbrokes Scottish League Two as they fell to a 3-1 defeat at home to 10-man East Stirling.Lewis Guy was twice denied by goalkeeper Darren Dolan before the visitors took the lead, Max Wright hitting a superb shot from outside the area which went in via the upright.Wright's afternoon took a turn for the worse five minutes before the break when he was sent off for a reckless challenge on Rabin Omar.Ben Jago skimmed the crossbar with a shot at the start of the second half as Annan started the second period brightly, and they levelled shortly afterwards.Substitute Smart Osadolor had been on the pitch a matter of seconds when he converted Josh Todd's cross.Osadolor missed in front of goal and Guy hit a post, only for East Stirling to snatch the lead from a set piece, Kris Faulds scoring from close range.Gavin McMillan sealed the points for the rock-bottom visitors with a header from Lloyd Kinnaird's cross.

                    Annan up to second after impressive win over Arbroath

                    A clinical performance from Annan saw them claim a 4-1 win against Arbroath and move up to second in Ladbrokes Scottish League Two.Josh Todd had already gone close when he fired Annan in front after 22 minutes. A superb strike from Peter Weatherson came back off the crossbar to Todd and he slotted home.Their joy was short-lived, however, as Arbroath equalised three minutes later through Jamie Reid's fierce drive from the edge of the area.The goals kept coming as Annan regained the lead 60 seconds later. A mistake from Arbroath goalkeeper Allan Fleming left Lewis Guy with a simple finish.Todd made it five goals in his last three matches with a neat strike to make it 3-1 before Mark Whatley was denied a second for Arbroath as Jordan Hart pulled off a superb stop.Annan sealed victory with a late fourth as Smart Osadolor saw his first attempt clawed out by Fleming but he smashed in the loose ball.
