| Comments | Match Report Report from the Daily Record. Cowdenbeath 0 Ross County 2 Garry Wood produced an action replay at Cowdenbeath. The ex-Beath star rifled home a second-half shot for Ross County--just like he did on his last trip to his stomping ground in August. And a late Graham Mitchell own goal ensured the Fifers are anchored to the foot of Division Three, six points behind Montrose. Ross boss Neale Cooper saw his side move up to second in the table and said: "We weren't at the races in the first half, but we got it together after the interval and took goals well." Cowdenbeath gaffer Craig Levein--9n the job just five weeks--crashed to his second successive home defeat. He admitted: "We were very naive defensively and we will have to learn from our mistakes." |
