Rangers, Dunfermline Athletic, Stranraer and Ayr United make up the top four of Scottish League One after the final round of fixtures, while Arbroath have been relegated.

The Scottish champions have ended the season unbeaten and on 102 points after claiming a 1-1 draw against the second-placed Pars, Lewis Martin's goal cancelling out Dean Shiels's opener.

Stranraer beat Forfar Athletic 3-1 thanks to goals from Sean Winter, Scott Rumsby and Frank McKeown, after Gavin Swankie opened the scoring for the away side after just five minutes.

Ayr United sneaked into fourth place at the expense of Stenhousemuir, despite both teams winning their respective games.

The Warriors defeated Brechin City 3-1 thanks to a brace from John Gemmell and a second-half strike from Ben Greenhalgh, in a match that saw a man sent off for each side. Alan Trouten netted the consolation for the City.

However, it was the Honest Men who secured a top-four berth thanks to a 4-1 thrashing of East Fife, Craig Malcolm netting a hat-trick and Brian Gilmour also getting on the scoresheet. Liam Buchanan scored a late consolation for the Fifers, who finish the season in second-to-last place.

Meanwhile, Airdrieonians defeated Arbroath 2-0, a result that condemned the Lichties to automatic relegation to Scottish League Two. Caolan McAleer and Liam Coogans did the damage for the Diamonds.

Results in full: Airdrieonians 2-0 Arbroath, Ayr United 4-1 East Fife, Brechin City 1-3 Stenhousemuir, Dunfermline Athletic 1-1 Rangers, Stranraer 3-1 Forfar Athletic
