Dunfermline Athletic, with a spot in the promotion play-offs already secured, suffered their third defeat in four matches as they went down 2-0 at Airdrieonians.
Jim Jefferies' side had chances early on but it was Keigan Parker who opened the scoring after 28 minutes when he curled a free-kick past Ryan Scully to put Airdrie in front.
Dunfermline had plenty of possession but did not really threaten and Airdrie made sure of victory in the final minute when Jim Lister netted his eighth goal of the season after a mix-up in the Dunfermline defence.
Ayr United's play-off hopes suffered a setback when they lost 2-1 away to Brechin City.
Robert Thomson scored his seventh goal of the campaign after six minutes and Craig Molloy made it 2-0 in the second half. Alan Forrest pulled a goal back for Ayr with 15 minutes left but Brechin held on.
Stranraer, also in the play-off hunt, came from behind to draw 1-1 with East Fife at New Bayview.
Nathan Austin put East Fife in front with a header midway through the first half. Stranraer hit back and Scott Robertson equalised after 77 minutes to salvage a valuable point.
Stenhousemuir twice came from behind to earn a point in a 2-2 draw with Arbroath at Ochilview. Paul McManus opened the scoring for Arbroath after half-an-hour but Ben Greenhalgh pulled Stenhousemuir level before half-time.
Bobby Linn netted for the bottom club late on but Sean Higgins equalised with his 10th goal of the season with only four minutes remaining.
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
