Dunfermline heading to top of League One table thanks to Nikolay Todorov strike
Substitute Nikolay Todorov headed Dunfermline to the top of the cinch League One table courtesy of a 1-0 victory over Montrose.
Todorov’s 78th-minute effort was enough to claim the points at East End Park as leaders Airdrieonians were held 1-1 at Queen of the South.
Calum Gallagher’s free-kick handed the visitors a 19th-minute lead, but they were pegged back 16 minutes into the second half when Gavin Reilly struck from close range.
It might have been worse for the visitors with Reilly, Connor Murray and Michael Ruth all going close as time ran down.
Ross Cunningham scored twice to help ease Clyde to a 3-0 home win over Kelty Hearts.
Cunningham opened the scoring eight minutes after the restart and after substitute Euan Cameron had made it 2-0, wrapped up the points four minutes from time.
John Robertson’s double counted for nothing as Alloa slipped to a 4-2 home defeat at the hands of Edinburgh City.
