League One leaders Raith stunned by Stranraer

Angus Beith continued his rich scoring form with the only goal of the game as Stranraer shocked League One leaders Raith at Stair Park.

On-loan Hearts midfielder Beith recorded his sixth goal in 10 games when he fired home from inside the area in the ninth minute.

That strike saw mid-table Stranraer inflict only a third league defeat of the season on Raith, who would have moved four points clear at the summit with a game still in hand had they managed to win here.

Kyle Turner, Stephen Okoh and Ryan Thomson all had chances to increase Stranraer’s lead before goalkeeper Cameron Belford did well to deny Liam Buchanan at the other end.

Belford saved from the same player after the break to keep Stranraer in front and, despite late pressure, Raith could not find an equaliser as they slumped to their first loss since November.
