Arbroath 5-0 Berwick Rangers

Arbroath prepared for the promotion play-offs with a timely return to form by beating Berwick Rangers.

All the goals came in the second half as the hosts recorded their first win in eight matches and their first under newly-appointed manager Todd Lumsden.

Robert Linn stroked home the opening goal and then set up Simon Murray for the second before the hour mark.

Murray poked home again, substitute Thomas Grant's free-kick made it four, then Richard Little completed the rout.

Arbroath finish third in Scottish League Two and will play the division's runners-up Queen's Park in the play-off semi-final.
