The Scottish Championship has a new leader, and League 1 continues to be dominated by the same two frontrunners. The BBC’s weekend highlights package captures the best of the action from both divisions, headlined by Partick Thistle climbing to the top of the Championship.

Partick’s rise to the summit came in style. The Jags beat previous leaders Stenhousemuir 3-0 at Firhill, a result that moved them two points clear at the top of the William Hill Championship.
Partick Thistle Go Top of Scottish Championship
The star of the show was Euan Henderson, who scored a hat-trick against Stenhousemuir. Henderson struck twice in the first half before completing his treble in the 56th minute, sealing a statement win that knocked the visitors off top spot.
Elsewhere in the Championship, Livingston beat Arbroath 1-0, Dunfermline Athletic won 1-0 at Queen’s Park, and Inverness Caledonian Thistle won 2-0 at Raith Rovers. Queen’s Park remain rooted to the bottom of the table, while Greenock Morton’s clash with Ayr United was postponed.
Ross County and Hamilton Academical Set League 1 Pace
In League 1, the story remains familiar: Ross County and Hamilton Academical keep winning. County thrashed Airdrieonians 4-0, taking their remarkable tally to 42 goals in just 11 league games this season, while Hamilton edged East Fife 2-1.
Elsewhere, Queen of the South beat Alloa Athletic 1-0 and Montrose ran out 3-0 winners over Peterhead. The match between Cove Rangers and East Kilbride was abandoned after 30 minutes with the visitors leading.
With Partick now setting the pace in the Championship and County and Hamilton pulling clear in League 1, the promotion races in both divisions are starting to take shape as the season heads deeper into autumn.
