Albion Rovers 0-3 Montrose

A second-half double by substitute John Baird helped Montrose seal a deserved victory at Cliftonhill.

Montrose took the lead after 33 minutes when Keith Gibson headed a Gary Wood cross into the top corner.

Albion defender Alan Reid was given a straight red card on 72 minutes for a professional foul on Baird.

Alan Benton then fouled Baird inside the box and the striker scored past David Scott. Baird then grabbed his second on 83 minutes.
