Queens increase play off chances

Queen of the South beat St Mirren to move into the Scottish Championship play-off places.

Buddies goalkeeper Jamie Langfield saved from Derek Lyle and Ryan Conroy, with the latter and Kyle Hutton narrowly off target with other efforts.

St Mirren’s Sean Kelly and Stephen Mallan tested James Atkinson, who also saved Calum Gallagher’s header.

Alex Harris struck the winner and then hit a post while David Clarkson hit the bar for St Mirren.
