Ayr United have moved to the top of the Scottish League One table with a 3-1 win over Stranraer.

Robbie Crawford's opener was cancelled out by Scott Robertson but Ayr took a half-time lead through Jamie Adams and Jordan Preston added a third in the second half.

Stenhousemuir came from three goals down to defeat Peterhead by a single goal. A Rory McAllister hat-trick looked to have secured the points for Peterhead before the break but four goals, including a brace from veteran striker Jason Scotland, moved Stenny above their opponents into sixth.

Bottom club Brechin City narrowly beat Forfar Athletic to move two points off safety.

Elsewhere, Airdrieonians let a lead slip to draw 1-1 against Albion Rovers and Cowdenbeath's match against Dunfermline Athletic finished goalless.
