Alloa Athlethic 1 Queens 2
Queen of the South won away for the first time since August as two Gary Oliver goals earned victory at Alloa.
Graeme Holmes fired Alloa ahead with a shot from the edge of the area after just 31 seconds.
Oliver converted a Derek Lyle cross at the second attempt after Andy McNeil had saved his initial effort just 10 seconds into the second half.
Alloa’s Jason Marr’s shot struck a post before Oliver netted the winning goal when he volleyed home Lyle’s cross.
McNeil kept the score down with saves to deny Lyle and Iain Russell.
