| Comments | Match Report Report from the BBC. East Fife 0 Ross County 3 A second-half double from substitute Craig Gunn helped Ross County reach the next round of the Challenge Cup. The Dingwall side went ahead after 21 minutes when Andy Dowie met Michael Gardyne's corner with a strong header. East Fife almost levelled in the 48th minute but Ryan Blackadder's free-kick swerved inches wide. Gunn latched on to a flick from Fergus Tiernan before driving the ball past John Dodds and he grabbed a second when he ran the ball into an empty net. |
