St Mirren found themselves a goal down after the first minute against Annan Athletic, but responded to win 2-1.

Peter Wetherson gave the home side the lead inside the first minute from the penalty spot, but second-half goals from Jordan Stewart and Alan Gow gave St Mirren the victory.

Dunfermline Athletic wrapped up a comfortable 3-0 win over 10-man Forfar Athletic.

Kevin Nicoll was sent off for the home side just after the half-hour mark and the visitors immediately made their numerical advantage count as Michael Moffat netted from the penalty spot.

Fayssal El-Bakhtaoui scored the second just before the break, and Moffat added his second of the evening eight minutes from time.

Queen's Park got the better of Dumbarton with a 1-0 win thanks to Joseph Bradley's strike six minutes into extra time.
