Evening Telegraph (First Edition)
Set up for tight title fight
ST Mirren’s lead at the top of the Championship was closed to two points after Morton held them to a 2-2 draw in the Renfrewshire derby, with all four goals coming in 13 second-half minutes.
Ian McShane scored a penalty before Andy Murdoch equalised, and Gavin Reilly restored the lead for Jack Ross’ side only for Gary Harkins to grab the equaliser from another spot-kick.
Ross was left frustrated after a number of decisions went against his side, including a late booking for Reilly for diving inside the area.
He said: “I don’t think he (referee Steven McLean) was at his best.
“Their penalty is fairly soft. The most frustrating one is Gav Reilly towards the end of the game, because that’s a penalty kick there’s no doubt about it.”
Livingston moved to two points off the top of the table but survived a scare in a 3-2 win over bottom club Brechin.
Jack McMillan and Jordan Sinclair scored a goal apiece early on, before Craig Halkett and Dylan Mackin looked to have secured a win only for Kalvin Orsi to make it tense with a late penalty.
Dunfermline missed the chance to go level on points with St Mirren, however, and dropped down to third in the table after Connor Bell’s first-half effort proved enough to earn Inverness a second win on the bounce.
Queen of the South held off a late fightback from Falkirk to win 4-2 at Palmerston Park.
Stephen Dobbie scored first before Lyndon Dykes and Darren Brownlie opened up a three-goal lead, only for Joe McKee and Jordan McGhee to strike back in the final five minutes before Lyle Taylor wrapped up the win.
