Highland: Nairn dent Locos' hopes

CRAIG Campbell knocked Inverurie Locos' title surge off the rails, with two goals.

The Nairn County favourite scored either side of the break to sneak the Wee County 2-1 in front, but was gutted to see John Maitland level late on after a costly red card for Nairn's Paul Macleod.

Ian Murray's penalty kept Buckie Thistle ahead on goal difference at the summit as they edged out hosts Lossiemouth 2-1. Murray's late winner was his 13th goal of a highly-impressive season so far.

Fraserburgh won 5-3 at Rothes, despite trailing 3-0 after only 12 minutes, Robert Morrice scoring a double in the final eight minutes.
