League One Round Up Saturday 14th November 2026

Staggies Stretch Clear at the Summit

If anyone was wondering whether Ross County were going to wobble at New Douglas Park, the league leaders gave an emphatic answer. The Dingwall outfit took all three points in a massive 1st-versus-2nd showdown, edging out Hamilton 1-2. That result extends County’s sensational unbeaten run to 15 matches (13 wins, two draws) and moves them eight points clear at the top of League One with a colossal 41 points and a +41 goal difference. For the Accies, sitting second on 33 points, it marks a worrying slide of four games without a win, leaving their title ambitions with serious ground to make up.

EK Hit Four as Wasps Sink to the Foot

Third-placed East Kilbride tightened their grip on a promotion play-off berth with a ruthless 4-1 demolition of struggling Alloa Athletic. EK, who still hold a game in hand, move to 24 points after sealing back-to-back victories. For the Wasps, the misery continues: that is now four defeats on the bounce and four games without a victory, keeping them anchored to the bottom of the table in 10th spot with 12 points.

Cove and East Fife Keep Streaks Rolling

The form teams outside the top two both produced flawless home displays to make it three wins on the spin. At the Balmoral Stadium, Cove Rangers dismantled fourth-placed Montrose with a convincing 3-0 victory. Cove climb to 7th on 15 points with a game still in hand, while Montrose remain in the final play-off spot on 20 points despite back-to-back league losses.

Meanwhile, East Fife ground out a vital 1-0 win over Peterhead at Bayview. The Fifers' third consecutive triumph lifts them to 6th place on 18 points, just two points adrift of Montrose. The Blue Toon stay in 8th place on 13 points with a -14 goal difference after suffering their second straight defeat.

Diamonds Shine as Doonhamers Falter

Airdrieonians made home advantage count with a professional 2-0 win against Queen of the South. That makes it consecutive victories for the Diamonds, who jump to 5th place on 19 points—breathing right down Montrose’s necks, just one point behind the top four. The Doonhamers, on the other hand, are in real trouble after slumping to a third successive defeat. Queen of the South remain 9th on 13 points, saved from the drop zone only by goals scored over Peterhead, though their league-worst goal difference of -26 is a flashing red light.

The League One Picture

With Ross County disappearing over the horizon, the real drama is brewing in the scrap for the play-offs and survival. Next weekend promises more fireworks when East Fife host Airdrieonians in a direct battle for top-four positioning, while Hamilton travel to Queen of the South desperate to halt their respective winless ruts. Elsewhere, Ross County welcome in-form Cove Rangers, Montrose host basement side Alloa Athletic, and Peterhead take on East Kilbride.
