Dunfermline Athletic 2-0 Raith Rovers: Kevin O'Hara double eases hosts' relegation fears

Kevin O'Hara scored twice to secure three important points for Dunfermline Athletic

Kevin O'Hara's double propelled Dunfermline Athletic six points clear of Scottish Championship basement side Queen of the South while denting Fife rivals Raith Rovers' promotion bid.

O'Hara struck after being teed up by Liam Polworth 33 minutes in, before sealing the win late from a corner.

John Hughes' men move within two points of eighth-placed Ayr United and have lost only once in five matches.

John McGlynn's Rovers remain fifth, three points shy of Partick Thistle.

With four matches remaining, Dunfermline, who have played a game more than struggling Queens, travel to title-chasing league leaders Kilmarnock on Saturday, while Raith host Morton.
