From the Championship to League Two, game week 14 in the Scottish lower leagues certainly served up the drama, bringing 50 goals across all three leagues.

Following a difficult run of form, Arbroath who were looking to get back on track, found themselves on the end of a better result when they welcomed Ayr United to Gayfield Park. Four different scorers helped David Gold and Colin Hamilton’s side as they dominated the game to earn a 4-1 victory and take all three points.

Queen’s Park now sit six points adrift at the bottom of the Scottish Championship following a 1-0 loss to Partick Thistle. Tony Watt continued fine goal-scoring form with his third goal in three games to keep The Jags three points clear at the top of the league.

Result of the weekend, however, must go to Greenock Morton. Despite being put out of the cup to league two side, Kelty Hearts during the week, The Ton managed to see off early title contenders Stenhousemuir 4-3, with 10 men. 20-year-old wing-back Dylan Borso, on loan from Chicago Fire, made the headlines scoring all four goals as Morton came from 3-2 down to take a vital three points in their bid for survival, now sitting ninth in the league.

Elsewhere in the Championship, the Fife derby on Friday night between Raith Rovers and Dunfermline Athletic ended goalless and Inverness Caledonian Thistle shared the points with Livingston in a 1-1 draw.

A league which remains wide open, with shock results and teams beginning to find form, you just never know what the Championship will serve up next.

In Scottish League One, league leaders Ross County, managed to continue fine form, in impressive goal scoring fashion, goals from Brian Graham, Richard Chin, Chris Hamilton and Kieran Phillips saw County go five points clear at the top, after beating mid-table Peterhead 4-1.

Hamilton Academical took a bump in the road in their title fight as they visited bottom of the league Cove Rangers. A hat trick from Edmond Oppong and a late goal from Joseph Teasdale was enough for Cove to take a vital three points as they bid for survival. On the other hand, Accies will be frustrated that they couldn’t close the gap on County at the top.

Queen of the South were looking to make their home advantage count as they welcomed East Kilbride (EK) to Palmerston Park. The Doonhamers went ahead early thanks to a goal from Connor Young, but it was level at the break. A controversial penalty was awarded to Kilby, after a coming together in the box, of which Cammy Elliot dispatched into the bottom corner to put EK ahead. Despite pushing for an equaliser, it was East Kilbride who took the three points to leave the Doonhamers in eighth.

In Scottish League Two, high-flying Stranraer continued their fine form, by beating Stirling Albion 3-0 to remain at the top of the league, level on 27 points with Clyde. Goals from Archie Traynor, Aaron Healy and Lewis Dobbie, extended Stranraer’s goal difference to 19, compared to Clyde’s 10. Another important result in the leaders’ fight for promotion after seven seasons in League Two.

Annan Athletic remain three points adrift at the bottom of League Two, following their 2-1 loss to Kelty Hearts. Despite going behind early in the game, Annan managed to get themselves back in it, despite being reduced to 10 men. However, it was Kelty Hearts who took a welcome three points after a late winner from Jack Brydon.

Dumbarton who are still in the search for a manager, made the long trip to Elgin City. After a recent patchy run of form, goals from Leighton McIntosh and Scott Honeyman, secured the three points for Dumbarton, who made the long trip home happy.

Clyde edged out the Spartans in a five-goal thriller, continuing their push for promotion. Despite finding themselves 2-1 down at half time, goals from Barry Cuddihy and Jamie Bradley saw Clyde complete the turnaround and take an important three points in their title challenge, with still only goal difference separating the two sides at the top.

Forfar Athletic hosted Edinburgh City at Station Park, and it was the hosts who went ahead early. Edinburgh City found themselves back in the game shortly after, with an equaliser from Lewis Walker, and it finished 1-1, with a point apiece.

Three leagues that remain entirely unpredictable from week to week, 50 goals certainly delivered the drama and entertainment, and with the race for promotion and the fight for survival heating up, one thing is for certain - it remains all to play for.
