ST Mirren moved back into second place in the Ladbrokes Championship with a 3-1 over Queen of the South at the Paisley 2021 Stadium.
Lewis Morgan continued his excellent form with a brace, one either side of half-time, after Cammy Smith had given Jack Ross’s men the lead.
Towering centre-back Jason Kerr, on loan from Premiership side St Johnstone, scored a consolation for Gary Naysmith’s midway through the second half but it was too little too late.
It means the Paisley side regained second place in the division at the expense of Dundee United and sit one point behind leaders Dunfermline.
It was Morgan’s seventh and eighth goals of the season and afterwards the man of the match praised that his side were sharing the goals around, as well as the execution of them.
“I think the three goals we scored epitomises what we’re all about at the moment,” said Morgan.
“It’s good to see Cammy get on the scoresheet again. There’s a few of us chipping in with the goals at the moment.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
