Queen of South 1 : 3 Raith Rovers - Raith riposte secures victory

A fantastic second-half fightback from Raith gave them a 3-1 victory over Queen of the South.

John Baird grabbed a brace and Brian Graham also netted to make it two league wins out of two for Rovers.

Kevin Smith gave Queen of the South the lead from the penalty spot on the stroke of half-time after Douglas Hill was adjudged to have fouled Ryan McGuffie.

The Doonhamers threw away a two-goal lead last week against Livingston and wasted their advantage again here.

Baird got himself on the end of Iain Williamson's cross to level proceedings in the 67th minute before giving Raith the lead 10 minutes later with a 25-yard lob.

Smith went from hero to villain for Queen of the South as he was dismissed for violent conduct after 86 minutes.

One minute later, Graham completed Rovers' comeback, with his own lob from just inside the penalty box.
