Saturday’s match-winning goal for Raith Rovers versus Dundee United one of my best, reckons Dylan Easton
The 29-year-old’s 59th-minute shot past home goalkeeper Jack Walton, following a Sam Stanton assist, was his ninth goal of this season in all competitions, and fifth in the Scottish Championship, and he was delighted to see it go in to earn three points for the table-topping Fifers, he told Raith TV after the weekend’s match at Tannadice Park.
“It was up there with my best,” said Easton, formerly at Airdrieonians, Kelty Hearts, Forfar Athletic, Clyde and Elgin City.

“It’s something I’ve been working on in training, going both ways, because if I go on my left, I can be a nuisance for defenders.
“As soon as I stood the ball up in the box, I shifted it onto my left foot and I was just thinking one thing. I just put my foot through it and I’m delighted it managed to find the back of the net.
“As soon as I made that run, I knew Stants would find me as he’s been a different class this season.

Easton was also thrilled to give Raith’s circa 2,000 travelling supporters cause for celebration, adding: “They’ve been absolutely different class. Ever since I came to the club, they’ve been our 12th man.
“I can’t speak highly enough of them.”
