Match Report

Raith Rovers bounced back from their first league defeat of the season last weekend as Dylan Easton's double saw them win at Ayr United.

Easton swept home from the edge of the box from Sam Stanton's pass, and the pair combined again just minutes later to double the advantage.

Anton Dowds pulled one back for the hosts in the second half, but Raith stood firm to secure all three points.

Ian Murray's side sit second in the Scottish Championship, just one point behind league leaders Dundee United, while Ayr sit eighth.
