Alloa end Raith's promotion hopes to set up final clash with Dumbarton

Alloa booked their place in the Scottish Championship play-off final as they completed their dismantling of Raith's promotion ambitions with a 2-1 second-leg victory.After earning a goalless draw that denied Raith the title and automatic promotion in the final league game, the Wasps won 2-0 in the first leg of their semi-final to inflict more misery on Rovers. Alloa, who finished 15 points behind Raith in the League One table, took full control of the tie thanks to Jordan Kirkpatrick's brilliant free-kick five minutes before the break. Euan Murray's right-footed effort pulled one back for the hosts, but Ross Stewart found the bottom corner nine minutes from time to secure a 4-1 aggregate win for Alloa and set up a final against Dumbarton.

Alloa beat Raith in play-off first leg

Raith suffered more disappointment at the hands of Alloa after losing 2-0 in their Ladbrokes Championship play-off semi-final first leg. Rovers were pipped to automatic promotion by Ayr on the final day of the League One season, having drawn 0-0 with Alloa, and could not respond against the same opponents following goals from Ross Stewart and Iain Flannigan. Stewart took advantage of a mistake from Graeme Smith to net the opener in the 22nd minute, rolling the ball into the net after the goalkeeper's clearance had cannoned off him, before Flanningan drilled home from 12 yards early in the second half. Things got worse for Alloa when Iain Davidson was sent off for a second yellow card eight minutes from time.
