Callum Smith and Lewis Vaughan both scored braces as Raith Rovers warmed up for the Scottish Championship play-offs with a comfortable 5-0 win over relegated Arbroath.

Smith bagged two goals in five minutes midway through the first half, first turning home Kyle Turner’s cross-shot before the recalled Vaughan laid on the second.

Max Boruc denied him a first-half hat-trick while Leighton McIntosh went close for Arbroath.

Vaughan made it four from a pair of second-half penalties and Jack Hamilton added the fifth as the Red Lichties’ season-ending losing run extended into double figures.

Rovers will play in the play-off semi-final against the winner of the quarter-final between Partick Thistle and Airdrie.
