Montrose are Ladbrokes League 2 champions after a dramatic final day which saw them finish a point clear of title rivals Peterhead.

A 1-1 draw with Elgin City at Links Park was enough to earn Stewart Petrie's side the silverware as the Blue Toon's 2-1 win over Edinburgh City at Balmoor proved in vain.

Montrose fell behind to a Shane Sutherland goal just before half-time but Jamie Redman equalised early in the second half.

A crowd of 2,380 saw the Gable Endies lift only the second league trophy in their history - they were Second Division champions in 1984/85 - and they can now look forward to playing in League 1 next season for the first time since 1995/96.

Peterhead, Stirling Albion and Stenhousemuir go into the play-offs while bottom club Cowdenbeath face Cove Rangers or Spartans in a bid to retain their SPFL status - Highland League winners Cove lead 4-0 after the first leg against the Lowland League champions.
