Next Season - By Steven Mew

The play-off final 2nd leg was played today and we now know which teams will be competing in the 2nd division next season.

Peterhead were favourites to gain promotion to the 1st division after a 2-1 win at Firhill in the first leg of the play-off final. Peterhead took the lead in the 2nd leg today at Balmoor through Martin Bavidge to make it 3-1 on aggregate but a quick Mark Roberts strike and a last minute Billy Gibson goal took the game to extra time and penalties.

Dick Campbell's men had plenty to celebrate after winning 4-2 on penalties, with Paul Ritchie converting the deciding spot kick.

Meanwhile Alloa completed their great escape by seeing off Berwick Rangers 5-2 on aggregate to stay in the 2nd division.

The 2nd division next season will consist of the following teams:

Alloa Athletic
Ayr United
Brechin City
Cowdenbeath
Forfar Athletic
Greenock Morton
Peterhead
Raith Rovers
Stirling Albion
Stranraer
