A late John Rankin goal gave First Division Ross County a narrow victory at Cowdenbeath in the Bell's Cup first round. The Third Division Fifers matched the visitors throughout and took the lead in the 14th minute through Graeme Brown, who fired home from just inside the penalty area.
County were lucky to be level at the break, with Andy Campbell putting through his own goal in the 22nd minute when trying to clear a Hugh Robertson cross.
The second half saw little to separate the sides.
But, with 10 minutes, remaining Rankin beat three defenders on the edge of the Cowdenbeath box and slipped home the winner.
