Scottish Championship REVIEW 12 Sep 2026: Raith Rovers make the most of an early sending-off, and Inverness win at Somerset Park

Three Scottish Championship matches on Saturday and all three were over well before the end. Raith Rovers beat Arbroath 4-0, Inverness Caledonian Thistle won 3-1 at Ayr United, and Dunfermline Athletic beat Queen's Park 2-0 with both goals inside half an hour.

Raith Rovers were two up through George Oakley inside a quarter of an hour, and Arbroath then lost Charlie Dewar to a red card in the twenty-sixth minute. Jai Rowe made it three a minute later and Dylan Easton added a penalty in the sixty-third.

Ayr United were three down before the hour in all but name. Luis Longstaff scored for Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the fourth minute and Ryan Duncan in the nineteenth; Owen Stirton pulled one back in the twenty-seventh, and Adam Mackinnon restored the two-goal margin in the seventy-second.

Dunfermline Athletic did their work early and then kept it, Josh Cooper scoring in the seventh minute and Rory MacLeod in the twenty-eighth. Queen's Park did not score.
