Arbroath 1-0 Stranraer

Bryan Scott was the hero for Arbroath as they leapfrogged Stranraer at the bottom of the Second Division with a controversial victory.

The home side took the lead in the 20th minute when Scott clipped the ball past the on-rushing Scott Black.

Stranraer were awarded a penalty after Gregory Tade and Jamie Smith tangled, but the decision was changed after a discussion between officials.

The visitors also claimed for a penalty when Tade was felled by the goalkeeper.
