Raith Rovers take Scottish Championship lead after goalless Fife derby
Raith Rovers moved top of the Scottish Championship on goal difference after a goalless draw with Dunfermline Athletic, who sit third on the same points.
Raith Rovers climbed to the top of the Scottish Championship following a goalless draw with Dunfermline Athletic in the Fife derby. The point lifted Raith above Partick Thistle, whom they lead on goal difference rather than by a clear margin.
Dunfermline's share of the spoils leaves the visitors third in the table, level on points with both Raith and Partick. With three sides separated only by goal difference, the standings at the top of the division remain tight after the derby.
The match itself produced no goals, meaning the contest was decided by a single point apiece rather than a winner. No further details of the game were available in the supplied report, which focused on the result and its effect on the league table.
The draw therefore delivered a notable swing at the summit without a victory: Raith gained top spot, Partick dropped to second on goal difference, and Dunfermline stayed in close contact in third.
