Championship Round Up Saturday 24th October 2026

Jags Lay Down Title Marker at Firhill

The top-of-the-table clash in Maryhill produced a resounding statement as Partick Thistle swept aside Stenhousemuir with an emphatic 3-0 home win. The result vaults Thistle to the summit of the Championship on 25 points from 12 games, extending their fine unbeaten run to six matches. With only four goals conceded all season and a commanding +11 goal difference, the Jags look the team to beat. Stenhousemuir drop down to second spot on 23 points, though they still hold a game in hand over the new leaders.

Caley Thistle March On as Raith Stumble

Inverness CT maintained their blistering momentum with an impressive 2-0 away triumph over Raith Rovers at Stark's Park. That makes it three league wins on the bounce for Caley Thistle, who tighten their grip on fourth place with 19 points, narrowing the gap on third-placed Raith to just two. Rovers remain on 21 points but will be rueing missed opportunities after a patchy run of form that has seen them win just two of their last six outings.

Pars Edge Out Spiders to Keep Streak Alive

Dunfermline proved their resilience once again on the road, grinding out a vital 1-0 win away to Queen's Park. The Pars stretched their remarkable unbeaten run to eight matches, moving onto 18 points in fifth place—just a single point behind Inverness with a game in hand. At the other end of the spectrum, it is crisis time for Queen's Park. A third consecutive defeat leaves the Spiders rooted to the foot of the table in 10th on seven points and a league-worst -13 goal difference. They sit level on points with ninth-placed Greenock Morton, whose scheduled clash with seventh-placed Ayr United was not played this weekend.

Livi Grind Out Victory Over Freefalling Lichties

Livingston got back to winning ways at the Home of the Set Fare Arena, securing a narrow 1-0 victory over a struggling Arbroath side. The three points lift Livi into sixth place on 17 points, keeping them firmly in the hunt just two points adrift of the playoff berths. For Arbroath, the downward spiral continues unabated; they have now suffered four straight defeats and are four games without a win, languishing in eighth spot with 11 points and a -11 goal difference.

Summary & What's Next

A thrilling weekend has shaken up the Championship picture at both ends. There is no time to catch breath either, with Stenhousemuir hosting Dunfermline in a mouthwatering Tuesday night encounter on 27th October before another packed card next Saturday. With Thistle hitting the front, Inverness surging, and Dunfermline refusing to be beaten, the promotion race is heating up nicely while the scrap at the bottom grows more desperate by the week.
