How they stand...

BBC Sport

FULL-TIME- Dunfermline 2-0 Arbroath

FULL-TIME- Queen of the South 0-2 Inverness CT

FULL-TIME SCORES

• Cove Rangers 3-0 Albion Rovers
• Edinburgh City 4-0 Stenhousemuir
• Stirling Albion 0-0 Cowdenbeath

Cove Rangers remain top but Edinburgh City jump above Cowdenbeath into second. It means Paul Hartley's side are now three points clear at the summit.

FULL-TIME- Dundee United 1-0 Partick Thistle

Relief for Dundee United, they maintain their three-point lead at the top.

GOAL- Queen of the South 0-2 Inverness CT

FULL-TIME- Morton 2-3 Ayr United

After a dull, dreary first half this game exploded into life after the break. Morton led 1-0 before Ayr United responded to go 2-1 up within 10 minutes of the second period. Morton equalised but Aaron Muirhead's goal for Ayr has turned out to be the winner.

FULL-TIME- Alloa Athletic 0-3 Dundee

GOAL- Solihull Moors 3-3 Rangers U21

Decent comeback from the young Rangers team. They were 3-1 down not too long ago.

United grinding it out

Allan Preston

BBC Scotland summariser on Sportsound

United are going to have to be a lot better, but it's the sign of a decent side to not play well and come away with the points. A loss will be very harsh on Partick Thistle.

GOAL- Dunfermline 2-0 Arbroath

It's another poacher's finish from the man who finished as top scorer in League One last term. Game over?

GOAL- Cove Rangers 3-0 Albion Rovers

Looks like Paul Hartley's men will be staying top of League Two!

GOAL- Cove Rangers 2-0 Albion Rovers

Lawrence of Arabia

GOAL- Morton 2-3 Ayr United

And the momentum swings back in favour of the visitors! Muirhead gets the credit after Craig McGuffie's shot caused some mayhem in the Morton box.

GOAL- Solihull Moors 3-2 Rangers U21

GOAL- Alloa 0-3 Dundee

The Hibs loanee, who's not long off the bench, kills the game for Dundee.

Red-hot Shankland in demand

Cammy Bell

Former Dundee United goalkeeper

If Shankland keeps scoring, even at this level, it'll be very difficult for United to keep hold of him.

GOAL- Solihull Moors 3-1 Rangers U21

GOAL- Dunfermline 1-0 Arbroath

Nisbet turns in Andy Ryan's dangerous cross and we now have a goal in all of tonight's Championship matches.
