| Comments | Match Report Report from the BBC. Elgin City 1 Ross County 2 Ross County survived a late scare at Third Division Elgin to edge through to the ALBA Challenge Cup second round. County twice went close early with Mark Corcoran and Scott Boyd both having efforts saved by Elgin's Steven Dunn. The First Division side forged a deserved two-goal lead through Martin Scott's header and Paul Lawson's 25-yard rocket in the second half. But Craig Gunn's 82nd-minute thunderbolt for Elgin ensured an anxious finish for the visitors. |
