Edinburgh City remain out in front

Edinburgh City maintained pole position in Ladbrokes Division Two with a 1-0 win at Stirling, on a day when the five matches provided five away wins and six red cards.

Craig Thomson’s 37th-minute goal gave the leaders all three points and preserved their two-point lead over Peterhead, who were 3-1 winners at Clyde in a game where both teams had a man sent off.

Scott Brown gave the visitors a 20th-minute lead before Michael Dunlop saw red. However, the hosts’ man advantage lasted just five minutes before Thomas Lang was dismissed, leaving both teams with 10 men.

Derek Lyle made the points safe with two goals inside the final 17 minutes, making sure Peterhead’s 100 per cent away record continued. Patrick Boyle’s own goal in between was the only moment of cheer for fourth-placed Clyde.

Cowdenbeath moved further clear of the drop zone with a 3-0 win at Berwick – who finished the match with eight men.

After John Neil had seen red for the hosts in the 16th minute, Harvey Swann opened the scoring in the 29th minute and doubled the lead from the penalty spot seven minutes later.

Robert Wilson and Chris Hamilton saw red for Rangers as time ran out, with Fraser Mullen wrapping up the points for Cowdenbeath 10 minutes from time.

The red-card theme continued as rock-bottom Albion Rovers had Gary Fisher sent off five minutes from time in their match against Queen’s Park.

The visitors were in command at that stage thanks to goals inside the first 15 minutes from Lewis Hawke and Jamie McKernon, before Smart Osadolor sealed a 3-0 win a minute from time.

Owen Moxon’s 38th-minute goal gave Annan a 1-0 win at Elgin which sees them climb into third position.
