Brian Carrigan and Brian McPhee scored doubles as Hamilton Academical secured promotion to Division One with a four-goal demolition of Forfar Athletic. Carrigan hooked a superb strike into the net from 12 yards to break the deadlock just before half-time.
Mark Corcoran then set up McPhee to place his shot beyond the goalkeeper.
Carrigan's pass allowed McPhee to slot home the third before Carrigan himself completed the scoring from the spot after David Lowing fouled Corcoran.
Victory meant that Accies had come from behind to pip long-time league leaders Morton to the second promotion spot behind Lanarkshire neighbours Airdrie United.
