Morton 2-2 Queen of the South: Plucky showing as Queens seek survival
Morton started far the brighter and their opener arrived just after the half hour mark, Fouad Bachirou taking advantage of some hugely generous defending to pick his spot behind Lee Robinson.
After the break Queens rang the changes, pitched another forward into the fray and deservedly levelled on the hour, courtesy of a textbook header from Sam Parkin.

With a quarter of an hour remaining the points should have been secure, but Bachirou this time ballooned his chance off the top of the bar.
It was was to be a costly blunder because minutes later Parkin again caused Morton problems in the air to set up Danny Carmichael who slid the ball home for what could be a precious point come the season’s end.
