Queen’s Park edged Greenock Morton 2-1 in a tense Scottish Championship encounter, securing three valuable points with a late winner. The match was played at a high tempo from the opening exchanges, with both sides showing ambition in attack and occasional fragility at the back.

Match overview

Queen’s Park started brightly and took a deserved lead in the 19th minute. A clever through ball split the Morton defence, and the home striker finished calmly across the goalkeeper. Morton responded well, gradually growing into the game and equalising before half-time with a well-placed shot from the edge of the area after a sustained spell of pressure.

The second half was a tighter affair. Both midfields battled for control, and clear-cut chances were limited. Just when the game looked destined for a draw, Queen’s Park found a winner in the 84th minute, reacting quickest to a rebound in the penalty area to send the home supporters into raptures.

Key moments

• 19' – Queen’s Park take the lead: A precise pass carved Morton open, and the finish was just as clinical.
• 41' – Morton equalise: A goal from outside the box after a half-cleared corner restored parity.
• 84' – Queen’s Park win it: A scrappy goal, but they all count – the striker pounced on a loose ball to make it 2-1.

Standout players

The Queen’s Park number nine was a constant threat and took his goal superbly, while the young midfielder in the centre of the park covered every blade of grass. Morton’s left-back was impressive going forward and provided the assist for the equaliser.

Table impact

Queen's Park will take huge confidence from this result as they aim to push towards the top of the Scottish Championship. Greenock Morton, meanwhile, will feel frustrated after matching their hosts for long periods, but they will take positives from another competitive away display.
