Raith Rvs 2 - 2 Airdrie

Raith Rovers and league leaders Airdrie shared the spoils in an entertaining draw at Stark's Park.
The result maintained the Diamonds 10-point gap over Rovers but gave hope to the chasing pack not in action.

Raith's Spanish winger Nacho Novo opened the scoring on 31 minutes, running onto Darren Henderson's pass before calmly sliding in his 13th goal of the season.

The home side's joy was short-lived however as Kevin James bulleted a header into the top corner of the net for the equaliser just two minutes later.

It was Airdrie who held the advantage at the interval when Neil McFarlane's shot deflected off Paul Browne and bounced passed Sammy Monin.

Raith applied the pressure in the early stages of the second half and on 52 minutes Andy Smith's glancing header from a Scott Crabbe free-kick found the corner to bring his side level again.

Both sides had chances to win the game, the best falling to Airdrie but Owen Coyle's shot was cleared off the line by Jorge Zoco.

Airdrie: Ferguson, Armstrong, McPherson, Stewart, McManus, James, Gardner, MacFarlane, Coyle, Roberts, Taylor

Subs: Beesley, McDonald, Dunn, MacDonald, Bennett
