Scottish League One roundup: Leaders Stranraer beaten by Brechin City

Scottish League One leaders Stranraer lost ground at the top of the table after a brace from Craig Wighton gave Brechin City a 2-0 win at Stair Park.

However, second-placed Greenock Morton failed to fully capitalise as they were held by ninth-placed Ayr United.

Ayr went ahead through Morgyn Neill before Morton favourite Peter MacDonald rescued a draw with a goal on his second debut for the club that cuts Stranraer's lead to four points.

Danny Denholm's late strike was enough to give Forfar Athletic a 1-0 win over Stenhousemuir that keeps alive their title hopes, while Peterhead beat bottom side Stirling Albion 2-1 thanks to goals from Rory McAllister and Jamie Stevenson.

Elsewhere there were goals galore at East End Park as Dunfermline Athletic were held to a 2-2 draw by Airdrieonians.
