Play-off hopefuls Dunfermline given a scare by lowly Arbroath
Posted Sunday, March 31, 2024 by PA
Dunfermline stayed firmly in the cinch Championship play-off hunt despite a late scare in a 3-2 win over rock-bottom Arbroath at Gayfield.
The visitors looked on course for a comfortable win after Ewan Otoo opened the scoring from the edge of the box after 24 minutes.
Paul Allan’s superb free-kick put the Pars further clear and Chris Kane’s effort on the stroke of half-time handed Dunfermline a 3-0 advantage at the interval.
But the visitors, heading into the game on the back of three straight losses and all but consigned to the drop, rallied with a brace from Scott Stewart either side of the hour mark.
And they came close to snatching an unlikely point late on when Leighton McIntosh fired a rising effort narrowly over the bar.
