Scottish League One leaders Raith back to winning ways

Ladbrokes League One leaders Raith returned to winning ways with a 2-1 victory over Forfar at Stark’s Park.

After suffering a shock defeat at Dumbarton last weekend, Rovers had drawn 1-1 with promotion rivals Falkirk on Tuesday night.

John McGlynn’s side were set on their way by an early goal from Daniel Armstrong after nine minutes.

Striker McManus – who had found the net in each of his last three matches to move past 20 goals for the season – hit a fine second goal on the hour with a dipping free-kick.

David Goodwillie’s close-range finish put the home side ahead four minutes into the second half.

Johnston made it 3-1 in stoppage-time, with Liam Callaghan then adding a late fourth to compound Stranraer’s misery.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
