Arbroath 0 Ross County 1
Big Johnston Bellshaw, in just his third game since returning after seven months out through injury, scored the only goal as Ross County won at Arbroath on Saturday.
After four games without a win, it also got the Dingwall men back on the victory trail and with two home games to come, they are now looking to close the gap on the six teams above them.
Arbroath manger George Mackie reckoned his players felt the ball had not crossed the line before a defender hooked away Bellshaw's header, but the linesman had no doubt.
Ross boss Bobby Wilson said: "It's a relief to end that difficult wee run and full credit to Bellshaw who has been excellent since he returned."
