Raith Rovers 3-1 Alloa Athletic: Hosts move second in Scottish Championship

  • Published

Raith Rovers climbed above Dunfermline into second place in the Scottish Championship after three late goals downed Alloa Athletic.

Innes Cameron's header gave visitors Alloa the lead, before Brad Spencer had a goal for Raith ruled out.

But three goals in the last 25 minutes from Iain Davidson, Regan Hendry and Jamie Gullan turned the game around.

Alan Trouten missed a late penalty for Alloa, who remain bottom of the table, four points adrift of Ayr United.

Raith Rovers manager John McGlynn: "I thought we played well, it was a good game. Even at 1-0 down I thought we were well in the game.

"Hopefully we can now get consistency and consolidate in the top four, get some daylight between us and Dunfermline, and finish as high as we can in second."

Alloa manager Peter Grant: "The better team won so no complaints. They were silly goals, but we looked like a team that had played midweek at points. Their commitment, effort they gave us, 100%.

"But today the better team looked fresher than we did."
