Raith Rovers were booed off the pitch after losing a last-minute goal for the second week running to draw with bottom-of-the-table Dumbarton.
Rovers were leading 2-1 when Sons substitute Bryan Prunty struck in the 90th minute to earn the visitors a point which was the least they deserved after dominating most of the second half.
For Raith boss Grant Murray, it was another deflating ending to a match, following on from Partick Thistle’s injury-time equaliser the previous game.
”Today was an opportunity to pick up three points,” he said. ”We got ourselves in the driving seat twice but to lose a goal so late, similar to last week when there’s no recovery, is hard to take.”
Rovers started brightly enough and opened the scoring in the 22nd minute with a route-one approach as David McGurn’s kick-out was headed on by Greig Spence and Grant Anderson before Brian Graham steered a left-foot shot beyond Jamie Ewings.
Dumbarton goalkeeper Ewings kept his team in the game just after the break with a stunning one-handed save to prevent Graham’s header from Eddie Malone’s free-kick from making it 2-0.
The visitors then punished Rovers’ slackness at the other end to equalise in the 52nd minute. Allan Walker lost possession in midfield and the ball broke for Jim Lister to run clear and fire low past McGurn.
McGurn had to show alert reactions to push a fierce Phillip Johnston drive over the bar, while the Raith keeper also denied Garry Fleming as he burst through on goal.
After surviving the onslaught, Raith took the lead against the run of play when Walker’s corner was headed towards goal by Simon Mensing and Spence headed home from two yards.
The visitors pounded the Raith goal in the closing stages and were rewarded with the equaliser in the 90th minute when Johnston’s cross was nodded into the path of Prunty and he tucked a shot into the bottom corner.
