Arbroath seal League One title with draw at Brechin City
- Published
Veteran manager Dick Campbell said he was the "happiest man in Scottish football" after his Arbroath side were crowned League One champions.
A 1-1 draw at Brechin City left the runaway leaders 13 points clear of Raith Rovers, with three matches left.
The Angus club last played in Scotland's second tier in 2002-03 but Campbell, 65, said his side deserved to return to that level.
"From day one we've been top. In February, we were 16 clear," he said.
"We'll get a wee warm-down for the next few games, a fortnight's holiday, then we start training again.
"Most teams we meet next season will be full-time and we'll be expected to get beat, but we'll have a go. I'm not too keen on this one up and five at the back."
Arbroath scored early at Glebe Park through Ryan Wallace's header but Brechin, in the relegation play-off spot, levelled with a Michael Miller strike after 22 minutes.
Raith, meanwhile, were beaten 3-2 at home by Stranraer despite having lead 2-0, Joao Pereira Vitoria nodding in the winner in the second minute of stoppage time.
Forfar Athletic edged to within a point in third place following a goalless draw with Dumbarton and Montrose leapfrogged hosts East Fife into fourth thanks to a Paul Watson double in Methil.
Meanwhile, at the bottom, Stenhousemuir drew level with Brechin, but remain behind on goal difference, thanks to Mark McGuigan's fifth-minute finish away to Airdrieonians.
