Arbroath 4-1 Queen of the South: Dick Campbell's side move within point of Kilmarnock

Jack Hamilton gave Arbroath a lead that they would not relinquish

Arbroath set up what could prove to be a Scottish Championship title decider at Kilmarnock on Friday after almost sealing Queen of the South's demotion.

Dick Campbell's side capitalised on the league leaders' defeat at Inverness on Friday to move to within a point of the Ayrshire side with two games left.

Struggling Queens led early through Ally Roy, but Colin Hamilton levelled and Jack Hamilton struck either side of half-time before an Innes Cameron own goal and a Jame Craigen header wrapped up the win for the Angus part-timers.

The defeat, combined with Dunfermline Athletic's win over Ayr United, means Queens are now nine points adrift at the bottom with just three games remaining and set to be relegated to League 1.

Arbroath manager Dick Campbell: "I'm delighted. I was nervous today. We didn't start well at all but what a spirit I've got in the team. We just overpowered them, great goals - fascinating goals. We were outstanding, second half.

"I just wanted the game at Kilmarnock to be alive - and now it's alive. What game. We'll take 2,000 fans down there on Friday.

"Can you imagine? It's bigger than Leicester [winning the Premier League in 2016]. A part-time club being up there against all those full-time clubs. It's just a phenomenon."

Kilmarnock v Arbroath will be live on BBC Scotland and the BBC Sport website on Friday
