Dunfermline Athletic 2 Ross County 2 A sensational double from Ronan HALE secured a point for Ross County at Dunfermline. The home side took the lead courtesy of a header from Jeremiah CHILOKOA-MULLEN but Hale's wonderful strike levelled the scores before half-time. Debutant Zak Rudden - at his ninth Scottish club - put Dunfermline back in front, but a fabulous second from HALE in the 89th minute snatched a point for County. John Robertson's side remain joint bottom of the table with Aidrieonians, while Dunfermline are fifth. |
