Two goals by sub Kane Hester - who scored in the 6-1 defeat at Dundee United - and a Josh Peters solo effort were enough to see off the Highland League visitors.

Elgin were again without self-isolating captain Euan Spark but handed a first start of the pre-season to defender Matthew Cooper.

Youngsters Dylan Lawrence and Joel MacBeath started the game for City.

The Black and Whites now turn their attention to Tuesday night's Premier Sports Cup clash with Kelty Hearts at Borough Briggs.

Kelty won 3-0 on Saturday against East Fife, who are City's final opponents in the group in Methil on Saturday.
