Kris Doolan took his season's tally to six

Kris Doolan scored twice as Partick Thistle won convincingly at Greenock Morton to move out of the Scottish Championship relegation zone.

The striker trundled in the opener and turned Scott McDonald's cross after Steven Anderson had scrambled Thistle second - all before the break.

Blair Spittal had a goal disallowed but Thistle move above Falkirk into eighth.

They are now just two points behind Morton, who have a game in hand away to Ayr United on Tuesday.

Morton manager Jonatan Johansson: "We should've scored first but the manner we lost the first goal is really poor. It doesn't help when you lose two centre-halves to injury in Kilday and Kerr Waddell.

"With the teams at the bottom winning, it's getting to the time when you have to stand up and be counted."

Partick Thistle manager Gary Caldwell: "Right from the first minute I thought we had a good intent about us.

"Doolan and McDonald were excellent all day. They showed their experience and their class and were the difference. Kris Doolan is a legend for this club and today he looked like his old self."
