Falkirk moved another step closer to promotion back to the Scottish Premiership after thrashing Morton 5-0 at Falkirk Stadium.
The Bairns, who last featured in the top flight in 2010, remain eight points clear of nearest rivals Livingston with four games left.
Scott Arfield gave Falkirk, seeking back-to-back title-winning campaigns, a fourth-minute lead with his seventh goal in nine games since rejoining the club where he started his career in February.
Calvin Miller doubled their advantage in the 17th minute and Arfield grabbed his second a minute before the break.
Ethan Ross got in on the act nine minutes into the second half before substitute Barney Stewart rounded off the scoring 11 minutes from time as Falkirk bounced back from their defeat to Livingston last time out.
Livingston climbed into second place after beating Queen’s Park 3-0 at Almondvale Stadium.
Livi saw their 10-game unbeaten run ended with a surprise defeat at relegation-threatened Dunfermline in midweek but scored all three goals in the first half.
Lewis Smith opened the scoring in the 14th minute, Robbie Muirhead added a second three minutes later with his 15th goal of the season and Stephen Kelly made it three in the 40th minute.
Raith remain in contention for a play-off place following a 1-0 home win over faltering Ayr.
Dylan Easton broke the deadlock just after the hour mark as they moved to within three points of Partick Thistle in fourth, while third-placed Ayr have now won just once in five games.
Hamilton moved out of the relegation places at the expense of Dunfermline after beating Neil Lennon’s side 1-0 at East End Park.
Reghan Tumilty scored the only goal four minutes before the break as the Accies ended a five-game winless run to climb into eighth place, two points clear of their rivals.
Dunfermline are now only three points clear of bottom-side Airdrieonians, who further boosted their survival hopes by beating Thistle 2-1 at home.
Having put five past Queen’s Park in midweek, Chris Mochrie put them ahead three minutes into the second half.
Ben Stanway levelled for Thistle seven minutes from time before Mochrie notched his second in the 90th minute.
