There have been many -gate scandals over the years from Watergate to Partygate and now Scottish football has its very own.
'Ballgate' hit the Lowland League over the weekend when Berwick Rangers travelled to Cowdenbeath in a clash between two former League Two sides. The English outfit came out on top thanks to a hat-trick from former Livingston, Raith Rovers, Partick Thistle and Dunfermline Athletic forward Liam Buchanan and a late goal from Lewis Allan to secure a comfortable 4-0 win at Central Park in Fife.
The game passed by without any major incident, however it was once the full-time whistle went that the drama began. Buchanan, who also played for the Blue Brazil at the start of his career and last season, was refused the match ball after bagging three goals for Stuart Malcolm's side. The win left the Wee Gers in sixth position, 13 points off Spartans who lead the pack. After the game Buchanan took to social media to explain the situation.
