The Coaltown side’s goals in the latter came from Kyle Hendry, Dale Smith and Ally Aitken. Scotia only require two points from their remaining three games to claim the prize. They play Kinross on Tuesday.

The only side who could deny Scotia the title are Rosyth who sit five points behind but would need to win both and hope Scotia lose all three of their remaining games.
