Adrian Mallagaray grabbed the winner for Montrose as they made the most of a man advantage to beat Clyde 2-1.

The visitors' afternoon got off to a sorry start as Michael Bolochoweckyj was sent off for bringing down Ross Campbell in the area when he was clean through in the 16th minute.

It took a turn for the better when goalkeeper John Gibson saved Gary Fraser's penalty and Mark McLaughlin then fired them in front from close range in the 22nd minute.

But Montrose were back on level terms in first-half injury-time when trialist midfielder Jamie Clarke, released by Arbroath this week, fired into the top corner.

Scott Linton missed a penalty for Clyde after Aaron Comrie brought down Sean Higgins and they were made to pay when Montrose snatched a winner, Mallagaray slotting the ball home from Campbell's neat pass.

Leaders Elgin moved five points clear at the top of Scottish League Two as Craig Gunn's solitary strike fired them to victory against Berwick.

Elgin made a bright start, with Archie McPhee rifling a shot inches wide from 25 yards and Gunn spurning two good chances shortly afterwards.

Gunn did open the scoring for the home side in the 12th minute, slamming the ball into the roof of the net.

Berwick goalkeeper Kevin Walker pulled off a superb save to deny Mark Nicolson while at the other end Darryl McHardy was on hand to volley off the line.

The visitors were reduced to 10 men at the start of the second half when defender Johnny Fairbairn was sent off for elbowing Dylan Easton.

Connor McLaren had the best of the late chances for Elgin as they saw out the game comfortably.

Craig Watson's header set Arbroath back to winning ways with a 2-1 Scottish League Two victory over Annan.

Hamilton loan defender Watson headed the hosts into the lead a minute after the break, before Martin McNiff's own goal (58) doubled Arbroath's advantage.

Peter Weatherson fired his 16th goal of the season in all competitions from the penalty spot late on, but the hosts were able to hold out for the win.

Arbroath had pulled off three wins in a row before last weekend's 3-2 defeat to Elgin City, but victory here set them back on track.

East Fife moved level on points with second-placed Queen's Park following a 3-1 win against East Stirling.

East Stirling took an early lead when Kris Faulds' free-kick was glanced in by the head of East Fife player-manager Gary Naysmith.

It was all square in the 17th minute when Kyle Wilkie collected the ball on the left and cut inside before drilling the ball into the bottom corner.

The visitors took the lead seven minutes later when Wilkie was brought down by Aron Lynas in the box. Nathan Austin's spot-kick was saved by Richard Barnard but he slotted home the loose ball.

East Stirling boss Craig Tully was sent from the sidelines by referee Gavin Ross before the break after he took umbrage with a decision.

His side were on top at the start of the second half as Michael McMullin fired over the stand while East Fife's Wilkie was wayward with another effort.

The visitors wrapped up the win with three minutes remaining when a Scott Mercer corner fell to Alistair Coote and he drilled the ball into the net.

Queen's Park lost ground on League Two leaders Elgin as they were held to a goalless stalemate against Stirling at Forthbank Stadium.

Willie Robertson did well to block Craig McLeish's early shot on goal as the visitors looked to take the lead after seven minutes and Stirling lost the former to injury just after the break when he was replaced by Aurelien Mazel.

Down at the other end, Mark Lamont sent his curling effort wide of the mark, while Queen's Park goalkeeper William Muir thwarted Darren Smith. But the home side hit back with a great chance of their own from David Galt, who forced Chris Smith to tip the ball over the crossbar.

The visitors lost Vincent Berry to injury before Ross Smith and namesake Darren came close for the home side but neither side was able to break the deadlock as the spoils were shared.
