Weatherson brace secures victory

A second-half double from Peter Weatherson gave bottom club Morton a 2-0 win over Queen of the South - their first victory in seven league and cup games.

Weatherson's first came five minutes after half-time via the penalty spot after Robert Harris fouled Stewart Kean.

His second was an unstoppable long-range effort in the 73rd minute which flew into the top-left corner after he had latched onto a Stuart McCaffrey pass.

Morton carved out the best opportunity of the first half, with Queens goalkeeper David Hutton palming away a Kean header from 12 yards.

Queens` best chance of the match came after 64 minutes when Ton goalkeeper Colin Stewart brilliantly turned Willie McLaren's sweetly-struck 18-yard volley around the post.
