Raith Rovers blasted their way into third place in Division One with a comfortable 4-1 win over bottom team Ross County.

The home side made a perfect start in seven minutes when Paul Tosh fired home Alex Burns' header but it wasn't until after the break that they made their superiority count.

Indeed, it took two fine saves in the first half from Guido Van De Kamp to deny Alex Bone and David Mackay and preserve Raith's lead.

On 53 minutes Rovers eventually extended their advantage when Steve Tosh set up Jay Stein and the winger slid the ball home off the far post.

Ten minutes later it was 3-0 when a hopeful punt forward caused hesitancy in the County defence and Burns nipped in to knock the ball past Nicky Walker and into the net.

County gave themselves some hope as Bone reacted quickest to score soon after and for a spell they threatened a comeback.

However, in the final minute Raith substitute Ivan Mballa raced clear from Stein's pass and coolly rounded Walker before firing into an empty net to secure his side's second successive 4-1 win over Highland opposition.
