Raith Rovers hit four, Montrose made their move and Edinburgh City won big in Scotland's lower leagues.

The weekend's goals and turning points are gathered in a highlights package from BBC Sport published on 14 September 2026.

The video is titled "Watch: Raith & Montrose make moves as Edinburgh City win big". It rounds up the best of the action from the Scottish Championship, League 1 and League 2. Those are the second, third and fourth tiers of the men's game in Scotland, below the Premiership. The package is marked as available in the UK only.

Raith supplied the loudest scoreline in the Championship. The Kirkcaldy club recorded a 4-0 result on 12 September, according to SPFL records. They had been scheduled to face Arbroath at home at 15:00 that Saturday. It kept the momentum going after a 2-0 away win at Inverness Caledonian Thistle on 5 September.

Edinburgh City provided the other headline act. The capital club play in League Two, the fourth tier. They had drawn 1-1 in the KDM Evolution Trophy, the cup competition for lower-league and young sides, on 8 September. There is a neat link between the two clubs. Raith beat Edinburgh City 4-0 in their second pre-season friendly in June, as reported by Raith Rovers.

Montrose did their business in League 1, the third tier. Full details of their result and Edinburgh City's big win are in the video round-up.

What makes this stand out is the timing. September is when early table shapes start to harden. A clean sheet and four goals can lift a dressing room for weeks.

For fans, this means a busy Saturday ahead. Raith are scheduled to travel to Partick Thistle at 15:00 on Saturday 19 September. Three points there would keep the good feeling rolling.
