The hosts keeper Ryan Scully saved Christopher Aitken's 22nd-minute penalty but Martin Grehan was on hand to poke the rebound home and give the visitors an early lead.

With the scores all square at the break Dunfermline scored two late goals to break the visitors' hearts.


Firstly, Luke Johnston stabbed home a Ross Millen free-kick with eight minutes left before substitute Allan Smith's superb late strike wrapped up the points for the Pars.
