Dunfermline's new signings wasted little time making their mark in a 3-1 win at East Fife.
Ross Forbes and Danny Grainger, both signed during the transfer window, contributed debut goals.
Dunfermline should have gone ahead midway through the first half when Ryan Wallace was clean through but shot wide.
Forbes broke the deadlock a minute from the break when he took advantage of a mistake by Joe Mbu. Wallace made it 2-0 in the second half before Grainger adding the third. Paul Willis scored a late consolation for the home side.
Ayr United held off Arbroath's second-half fightback to win 3-2 at Gayfield. With the wind behind them, Ayr were 3-0 up within half an hour as Michael Moffat scored twice to take his season's tally to 20. Michael Donald also netted. Bobby Linn and Leighton McIntosh reduced the deficit after the break.
Forfar Athletic and Airdrieonians shared a 1-1 draw at Station Park. Forfar led through Omar Kader with Jim Lister equalising. At Ochilview, Stenhousemuir and Stranraer also drew 1-1. Andy Stirling's 88th-minute looked to have won it for the visitors, but Eddie Malone equalised deep in injury-time.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
