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.

Alloa Athletic 0-3 Hibernian

The winger's low cross was bundled in by Simon Murray from close range.The summer signing then added a third 10 minutes from time to make it seven goals in four Betfred Cup games.

Ross County 2-0 Alloa Athletic

A Marcus Fraser volley sent Premiership side Ross County on their way to a 2-0 victory over League One Alloa Athletic in their Betfred Cup Group D opener.The defender's sweet strike was added to by Craig Curran as the Dingwall team began with a win.The Staggies, who were the 2015 winners of the competition, were killed off by the Wasps a year ago as they finished third in their section behind them and Raith Rovers and that had been in the mind of manager Jim McIntyre this week in the build-up to this tie.The Staggies, boosted by the return of Curran from a head knock, almost nudged in front on 23 minutes when ex-St Mirren defender Sean Kelly, on his competitive debut, swept a free-kick just wide.Alloa keeper Craig McDowall then had to be alert to turn an in-swinging Michael Gardyne corner around his near post before home skipper Andrew Davies headed over from the follow-up set-piece.Athletic were playing neat football, but lacked the cutting edge to really ask questions of their top-flight hosts.The opener arrived on 40 minutes when Fraser crashed an unstoppable volley high into the net when he connected with a Gardyne corner.The clinching second goal came on 69 minutes when Curran pounced to score after McDowall firstly denied him in the box.Sub Adam Martin came closest to getting Alloa on the scoresheet, but the Staggies held firm to earn the win.County head to League One Montrose on Tuesday, while Alloa will look to get points on the board when they host fellow League One opponents Arbroath.ends
