Citizens cane Queen’s Park to remain on top

Edinburgh City picked up their fifth win on the bounce to remain two points clear at the top of Ladbrokes League Two.

A 2-0 victory over Queen’s Park made sure the Citizens retained top spot in the third tier, thanks to a brace from Graham Taylor.

The midfielder found space inside the box to score five minutes before half-time and then powered in from outside the box to double the lead and earn a comfortable victory.

Peterhead remain their nearest challengers, but they were made to wait before sealing a 1-0 win over Berwick.

It was Rory McAllister who scored the only goal in a match they dominated, finishing from close range after being set up by James Stevenson.

Clyde remain hot on their heels and just a point behind Peterhead after recording a comfortable 4-1 win over Elgin, scoring three times in the first half to take firm control of the tie.

Martin McNiff scored his fifth and sixth goals of the season – both headers from corners – while David Goodwillie was also on target for the Bully Wee.

Jordan Lowdon pulled one back but Rabin Omar was sent off for two yellow cards after the break before Abdelkarim Belmokhtar restored the three-goal lead.

Jordyn Sheerin scored late on to deny Albion a first win of the season, claiming a 1-1 draw for Cowdenbeath at home.

Lewis Mclear had struck in the 25th minute to give the visitors a rare lead this season, and they held onto it for almost an hour before substitute Sheerin met a Fraser Mullen free-kick and headed into the back of the net.

Annan bounced back from successive defeats with a 2-1 win away at Stirling, who themselves had won back-to-back matches.

Evan Home, a trialist for Albion, put into his own net after a Scott Roberts shot before Tony Wallace doubled the lead with 20 minutes to go.

Dominic Docherty pulled a consolation back in the final minutes.
