Raith Rovers 1-1 Airdrieonians: Hosts miss chance to narrow gap on Scottish Championship leaders

Raith Rovers missed the opportunity to narrow the gap to Dundee United at the top of the Scottish Championship after being held to a draw by Airdrieonians.

Callum Smith smashed the Fifers ahead, latching onto a pin-point through ball that was expertly dummied by Aidan Connolly.

And, with United dropping points against Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Raith were within a point of the league leaders for a spell.

However, former Dunfermline forward Nikolay Todorov silenced the home support as he got the final touch on a corner in a congested box.

Connolly came closest to snatching the win for Ian Murray's side, but Joshua Rae in the away goal pulled off a superb save to deny the winger.
