Gregor Buchanan scored the only goal of the game in Greenock

Gregor Buchanan's emphatic late header lifted Greenock Morton above visitors Queen of the South into sixth place in the Scottish Championship.

The centre-back towered above the visiting defence to score his second of the season from Michael Tidser's excellent corner-kick delivery.

Reghan Tumilty had earlier been denied twice by Queens goalkeeper Alan Martin.

The Doonhamers' best chances fell to top scorer Stephen Dobbie, who tested Ton goalkeeper with a poked effort.

Greenock Morton manager Jonathan Johansson: "It was much needed. Both teams were nervous in the opening 15 minutes, but we were a bit braver and more confident with the ball in the first half.

"I'm really happy for Gregor because he led the defence really well. I've told them to be positive and brave and I've seen a lot of good signs."

Queen of the South manager Gary Naysmith: "We've just switched off from a set play and it's cost us. I thought it was quite an even game.

"We've got a couple of knocks; we had to take Scott Mercer off. I don't think Josh Todd or Nicky Low will be back for Saturday.

"Part of me wants another game to get a result and part of me wants a break to get bodies back."
