Queen of the South 1-2 Morton

Stevie Masterton scored twice as 10-man Morton beat Queen of the South to record a fifth away win this season.

Masterton's well-placed free-kick into the bottom corner gave the visitors the lead after seven minutes.

The midfielder smashed home a penalty after 31 minutes following a handball from Marvin Andrews.

David Weatherston's right-footed effort from six yards out after 72 minutes gave Queens hope, but Morton held out despite Kevin Finlayson being sent off.
