Partick boss John Lambie saw his side hit the woodwork four times as they crashed to a 4-0 away defeat at Stenhousemuir.

Brian Fairley's Warriors hit three goals in an eight-minute spell in the first half completely against the run of play.

With 31 minutes on the clock, David Woods fired in a corner from the right and Colin McKinnon stole in amongst a static visiting defence to head home from eight-yards out.

Two minutes later, with the Jags pressing for the leveller, Isaac English latched onto a clearance, shrugged off Stephen Craigan before slotting past the on-rushing Kenny Arthur.

Six minutes after that the visitors were stunned to find themselves three down.

Jimmy Fisher played in a corner from the left and as the visiting defence allowed the ball to rip through to the back post, Peter Cormack was on hand to bundle it home.

The Jags continued to press after the break but were dealt a blow in the 66th minute when Alan Archibald was red-carded after tangling with Barry Donald.

With 15 minutes left the Warriors wrapped things up when Lorn Gibson fired in an angled shot from the edge of the box and it took the slightest of deflections off fellow sub Martin McLaughlan to inch in at Arthur's right hand post for the fourth.
