Hamzad Kargbo scores first Stenhousemuir goal to send Marvin Bartley’s back to the top of Scottish Championship.

Stenhousemuir’s stupendous start to life in the Scottish Championship continued on Tuesday night after the Warriors bounced back from their first defeat of the competitive campaign in style.

Marvin Bartley’s side welcomed title favourites Partick Thistle to Ochilview Park looking to get back to winning ways after their Premier Sports Cup exit to Hearts, and they did just that, with a hard-fought 1-0 victory.

And it was recent signing Hamzad Kargbo who was the Warriors’ matchwinner. The towering striker, who made his debut off the bench against Livingston, headed home his first goal for the club. He managed to direct the ball over goalkeeper Liam McFarlane to give Stenhousemuir the advantage after 76 minutes, and the part-timers grinded out a fifth league win on the spin.

The Warriors, who sit three points clear at the top above Raith Rovers, now host sixth-placed Arbroath this Saturday.
