Raith Rovers stunned 10-man Falkirk with three late goals to ensure the Scottish Championship title race goes on and boost their own play-off hopes.

The majority of the 7,500 crowd turned up hoping for a party, but the celebrations are on hold as defeat leaves John McGlynn's side three points clear of nearest challengers Livingston with two matches remaining.

Falkirk, aiming for a return to the top flight for the first time 2010, have a vastly superior goal difference.

So three points from games away to Partick Thistle - live on the BBC - and at home to Hamilton Accies should be enough to seal a second successive promotion.

Calvin Miller cracked the hosts in front on 17 minutes following good work from Ethan Ross.

After the interval, it took a super save from Josh Rae to deny Ross from close range.

On the hour, the flow of the game changed when Sean Mackie picked up a second yellow card.

Rovers enjoyed lots of possession after the dismissal but Falkirk goalkeeper Nicky Hogarth was well protected by his defence until Aiden Marsh squeezed in a header on 88 minutes.

And the Kirkcaldy team found two more goals in stoppage time as Paul Hanlon crashed in a shot and Dylan Easton converted a penalty.

The comeback moves Rovers level on points with fourth-placed Partick Thistle in the scrap for the last remaining play-off spot.

Falkirk manager John McGlynn: "For an hour, we were very, very good. The sending off put us on the back foot and came back to bite us in the second half.

"We're disappointed to come away with nothing when we put so much into it."

Raith Rovers manager Barry Robson: "I didn't think there was much in the game when it was 11 v 11. We were really brave, really high pressing.

"When the sending off happened it was just sheer belief, the players really wanting it. That's now eight games unbeaten."
