In the second half Connell’s corner was nodded in by Salim Kouider-aïssa to give the leaders a fourth straight win.
Edinburgh City boosted their play-off push with a 3-1 win at Cowdenbeath. Blair Henderson diverted Liam Brown’s shot past Nicky Hogarth for the opener, but Harvey Swann equalised with a long-range strike into the top corner.
