Cove Rangers have won Scottish League 1 and promotion to the Championship after Mitch Megginson’s goal secured a 1-0 win over Dumbarton.
Paul Hartley’s side knew a win would secure the title and a third promotion in four years but they were held until the 75th minute, when Megginson scored the only goal of the game.
Cove entered the SPFL via the play-offs in 2019, having won the Highland League, and finished top of Scottish League 2 when season 2019-20 ended early due to Covid.
