A Marriott slip after quarter of an hour let Scott Moffat strike home from the edge of the box, and Moffat took the credit again on the half hour when he deflected Andrew Sinclair’s strike into the bottom corner. Andy Jones rounded off a fine move to make it 4-0 nine minutes after the break, after which the visitors’ pressure gradually eased off before substitute Chris Robertson struck twice in quick succession as the final whistle neared.
