The attendance for this Scottish Championship play-off first leg was recorded at 1,774. Darren Jamieson was named Player of the Match for his performance.

The second leg will be hosted by Stenhousemuir at Ochilview Park on Saturday afternoon at 3pm. The winner will face either Alloa Athletic or Airdrieonians for a spot in next season’s second tier.

Stenhousemuir finished the regular season in second place, just two points behind Inverness Caley Thistle. They had a difficult start but managed to secure an important draw.
