- Stephen Robinson reverts back to the 3-5-2 system which had allowed a strong finish to the previous season and is finally rewarded with a much-improved performance and comfortable, albeit pointless, win against League One FC Edinburgh.
- Keanu Baccus makes a very impressive debut after his work permit is finally granted, with young Fraser Taylor also given his first taste of first team football from the bench.
- Jonah Ayunga bags another two goals taking his tally to the season to four. Mark O’Hara scores his first goal for the club after converting an early penalty.
